We Will Definitely Get The Chance To Work Together

She yawned exhaustedly while walking toward the door. "What time will the shoot begin tomorrow?" she asked.

"Eight in the morning, but you will have to wake up at six to get your hair and makeup done," Xue Mingan replied. "As it is nearing the end of filming, there will be quite a number of scenes you need to take part in. Besides, you have the most lines among everyone. It is likely that the filming will go on till midnight," he added. 

Su Xia flung her head back in dismay as she opened the door of the waiting room. "Sigh! So can I have more for dinner tonight to replenish my energy?" she asked. 

With her sole focus placed on bargaining with Xue Mingan, she did not notice nor was she able to avoid the few people walking in from the blind spot outside the door. 

Su Xia's face collided with someone's arm. The person's arm hit her directly on the nose, causing her to burst out in tears due to the pain. 

She groaned and took a step back while holding her nose. Her vision went blurry with tears. She could vaguely notice a frown on the person who had collided into her. A low, magnetic voice then encompassed her senses, "Sorry."

"..."　　

Su Xia's stopped breathing momentarily. 　　

This person's voice...sounded like her idol. 　

She wiped away her tears carefully and looked up in disbelief. 　　

She was met with the sight of a pair of dark, starry eyes that seemed to contain the galaxy in them. There was a frown etched upon his brows whereas his eyes were set on her with a cold gaze.

"Are you alright?"　

It was Lu Jingyao. 　

Su Xia's heart lurched instantly. Her heartbeat raced so quickly it seemed as if her heart would jump out of her throat. 

This was completely different from attending activities like fansigns and concerts. She was not concealing her true identity. She was actually interacting with him face-to-face as herself. 

Xu Si, Lu Jingyao's manager, approached them. "We are so sorry, how is Su Xia?" he asked apologetically. 　

Although both their teams have never directly interacted before, they all knew about each other as they were both current top celebrities.　　

"Do you need us to do anything?" he asked while looking toward Xue Mingan. 　　

"It is alright, I am fine," Su Xia waved her hand at once. 　

She took in a deep breath. "I am not that fragile. I will not break from being hit once," she chuckled. 

"Exactly, it is fine. We were the ones who opened the door all of a sudden and collided into you guys," Xue Mingan agreed. 

"..." Su Xia raised her eyes. 

Lu Jingyao's tall figure blocked the light, casting a shadow on her. Her height reached up to his chest. From where she stood, she got a clear view of his dark eyes. 

She felt an odd sensation overcome her despite having looked into these very eyes plenty of times.

She could show her true self before Lu Jingyao without hiding around this time. 

However, it felt as if she was...baring herself before him. 　

She felt more secure after putting on a vest. 

"We will be leaving first as we are busy. We will meet again if we are fated to work together in the future," Xu Si said.　

"Sure, we will definitely get the chance to work together in the future," Xue Mingan said with a polite smile.

Both their managers then greeted each other politely. Their interaction thus ended on a courteous note.　　

Lu Jingyao lowered his eyes and nodded slightly toward Su Xia, a grim and cold look on his chiseled face. "Goodbye," he said. 

Su Xia almost choked on her own breath. She blinked slightly, the corners of her eyes creasing as she smiled sweetly at him. "Goodbye," she said in return. 

After a while, she called out softly, "Lu Jingyao."　

　　——

On the way back, Xue Mingan was still amazed over Su Xia's smile just now. 

Lil Yi held her head in her hands and looked forward with an uncertain look on her face. 

"I guess it is true that one will really turn into a different person in front of the person you like," she said.
