14 Meeting the Deskmate Again (2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Yang Hua had no choice but to lower his head and walk to the three women like a prisoner waiting to be interrogated. "Tang Xin..." He smiled awkwardly at the girl who was etched in his memory.

The moment Tang Xin walked into the restaurant, Yang Hua recognized her as his biggest nemesis. That's right, she was Yang Hua's elementary school deskmate, the first person to create the "unlucky syndrome" and the main culprit who directly caused Yang Hua to miss the first college entrance examination.

Yang Hua would never have thought that he would meet this female classmate who had brought him so much bad luck in this place. And he didn't expect that after six years, the girl who didn't look particularly beautiful would actually become as beautiful as a female star. Yang Hua, who never watched television, didn't know that his former female classmate had really become a female star.

"Sister Xin, you guys... know each other?" Wang Ruoxi was obviously the most surprised by the relationship between Tang Xin and Yang Hua.

"Yeah, he was my classmate from elementary school to high school." Tang Xin smiled. She didn't put on airs like a female celebrity.

"Hey, why haven't I heard you mention this before?" Qi Yuying looked at Yang Hua with interest and asked.

"Mention what?" Yang Hua spread his hands and smiled bitterly. "I didn't know you two knew each other."

"No way! Are you from Earth?" Wang Ruoxi cried out in surprise, "Even Tang..." Halfway through her words, she suddenly remembered that this was a public place, and she couldn't call out Tang Xin's name loudly, so she quickly stopped talking.

However, the first half of her sentence had already attracted the attention of a group of people. Some hardcore fans who had been watching the TV series had suspected that the girl who walked in was the female lead in the TV series. After receiving the hint, they immediately confirmed Tang Xin's identity.

Seeing that everyone was ready to make a move, Tang Xin, who was already experienced in this, left the restaurant as fast as she could without thinking. Qi Yuying and Wang Ruoxi followed closely behind her, so Yang Hua naturally had no choice but to follow the three women out the door. The customers behind them had not finished their lunch yet, so they hesitated for a while between chasing stars and eating. However, in this short while, the girls and Yang Hua had already disappeared.

After running for half a street, Tang Xin, who was panting, stopped. Meanwhile, Qi Yuying and Wang Ruoxi could no longer run. They barely managed to reach Tang Xin's side and immediately held onto the guardrail by the roadside to retch.

"That was close!" Tang Xin patted her chest and looked behind her with lingering fear.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xin. I couldn't hold it in." Wang Ruoxi, who had caught her breath, apologized with some grievance. She glanced at Yang Hua, who had been questioned about his identity as an Earthling, with dissatisfaction.

"It's alright." Tang Xin's temper was really good. Although Wang Ruoxi had made her run half the street, she was not angry at all and still answered with a smile.

"Tang Xin, are you very famous? You're running like this." Although Yang Hua's physical strength was much better than the girls, he still asked after panting for a long time.

"No way, you really don't know Sister Xin?" Wang Ruoxi couldn't help but stand beside Yang Hua and ask.

"I really don't know."

"You don't usually watch TV?"

"Not really."

"What about movies?"

"I don't really watch it."

"Entertainment news?"

"I have never watched it before..."

"Good heavens!" Wang Ruoxi covered her eyes. She was completely defeated by Yang Hua.

"Hey, you really don't know? She's one of the most popular female celebrities now." Qi Yuying couldn't help but whisper into Yang Hua's ear.

"What? Is that so?" This time, it was Yang Hua's turn to be surprised. "You... You're a celebrity now?" He looked at his former deskmate, dumbstruck.

"I guess so." Yang Hua's slightly comical behavior made Tang Xin laugh. She turned to look at Qi Yuying and asked with a smile, "I still don't know your name."

"Oh! I'm Qi Yuying, a screenwriter." Qi Yuying immediately remembered that she had forgotten to introduce herself to this female celebrity whom she had never met before.

"Oh! You're Qi Yuying!" Tang Xin shouted happily, "I've always wanted to meet you! Every time I see Director Zhang, he always talks about you and keeps praising you as a talented woman!"

"He's flattering me." Qi Yuying was very humble, but her expression was very smug.

She was absolutely confident in her ability as a screenwriter. From the first time she started writing scripts, no matter if it was a tragedy or comedy, as long as it was a work that she wrote, it had never failed. In particular, she was proud of her work, Red Rain, which made three people famous in one movie: the director, the female lead Tang Xin who was standing opposite her, and herself.

"Aiya, it's getting late. We still have to rehearse at two in the afternoon." Wang Ruoxi suddenly looked at her watch and exclaimed.

"Then let's hurry back to the set!" Tang Xin looked at the time and smiled apologetically. "I'm really sorry for delaying your lunch."

"Didn't your lunchtime get messed up as well?" Qi Yuying was still as carefree as ever. When she heard Tang Xin apologize, she immediately shook her head.

"Then let's go to the set for lunch. When I came out, I saw a restaurant that seemed pretty good."

"Then why aren't you having lunch there?"

"I knew that I would be rehearsing here yesterday and didn't want to eat their lunch box, so I made a reservation at Lin's Restaurant in advance."

"Oh! So you were the one who reserve the table!"

...

The three women brought Yang Hua straight to the filming location in the suburbs that was specially prepared for Qi Yuying's film, "The Third Kind of Human". Of course, they didn't go directly to the studio. Instead, they went to a small restaurant in the suburbs.

There were only a few people in this small restaurant in the suburbs, so Tang Xin and Wang Ruoxi also took off the sunglasses they had been wearing. At this time, Yang Hua finally saw their faces clearly.

After taking off her sunglasses, Wang Ruoxi revealed a pair of thin eyebrows and a pair of big cartoon-like eyes. Coupled with her charming smile from time to time, her entire face was as beautiful and sexy as the clothes she was wearing.

Tang Xin's beauty was completely different from Wang Ruoxi's. Seeing Tang Xin at this time, Yang Hua was amazed that a woman's appearance could change so much. At the same time, he almost immediately understood why she could be called a "Jade Lady Star". It was indeed a face that was so pure that one couldn't bear to look at it, afraid that she would be scared if one looked at her for too long.

Yang Hua compared her face with the face he saw in his third year of high school and shook his head. He really couldn't think of any difference between the two faces, but he couldn't tell what was the similarity between the two faces either. From an ugly duckling to a white swan, there was really just a small difference.

Although there weren't many people in the restaurant, only a few of them looked at Yang Hua's table at the same time. Three young and beautiful women and a man who looked quite charming... What was their relationship?

"Isn't that Tang Xin?" The customers who recognized Tang Xin were whispering among themselves, and some of them recognized Wang Ruoxi.

"They're filming, right? Who was that kid sitting with them? A new actor? I wonder if he'll have an intimate scene with them..." Several customers glanced at Yang Hua, who had his head lowered and remained silent, with envy and jealousy.

On the surface, Yang Hua was the only man sitting in the middle of three beautiful girls, and the three girls kept looking at him with smiling eyes. It was not too much to describe him as having great luck with women. But in fact, Yang Hua knew his own suffering.

Although he had not said anything, the topic of the three women's conversation quickly turned to him. He didn't know whether it was because Tang Xin hadn't seen him for a long time, so she was a little happy to see him, or because the other two women liked to gossip. Anyway, after a few words, the three women began to talk about Yang Hua's past. As they spoke, they would always look at Yang Hua with a smile, intentionally or unintentionally. Especially Tang Xin, her eyes almost never left Yang Hua's face.

Yang Hua, who had his scandals exposed, could not stop them, nor could he escape. He could only lower his head in embarrassment and let the three women gossip about him. This time, he finally understood what the saying, "three women make a show" meant. Of these three women, one was a gold-medal screenwriter, one was a popular female lead, and one was a super supporting actress. When they met, wouldn't they immediately become a show?

They chatted from the downtown area of City T to the suburbs, from the restaurant to the film set. The three of them chatted for an entire afternoon, and it seemed that they were not satisfied. Tang Xin simply invited Qi Yuying and the others to have dinner together. Qi Yuying, who had completed a day's mission and could freely arrange her schedule, naturally accepted her invitation.
