Su Xia yawned and went to the restroom.
Han Yue had prepared a toothbrush, towel, and other personal hygiene items for her. After washing up, she ate breakfast and cleaned up the place. With a carefree heart, she made her way home.
After she finished filming, she took a break to read some scripts. However, Xue Mingan arrived at her house in the afternoon with a pile of papers.
“Join a variety show during your break,” he said.
“You will gain a good amount of exposure,” he added.
Su Xia glared at him. “Did you not say that I could rest for a few days?” she asked.
“That is why I purposely chose a variety show where you get to eat,” he said. He raised his chin with a proud look on his face. “You have watched ‘Attack, Chef God’, right?” he asked.
Su Xia nodded after a momentary pause.
It was a variety show that rose in popularity recently. There are two guests in addition to six permanent members, some renowned chefs, and two MCs in every episode. The guests would have to purchase cooking ingredients based on their personal preferences. The chefs would then choose two of the permanent members to have a cooking battle against each other. They would be given five minutes to decide on a central theme based on the ingredients purchased by the guests. Lastly, the final winner would be picked by the guests.
A restaurant had been opened in collaboration with “Attack, Chef God”. The dishes prepared by the winning chefs would be added to the restaurant’s menu.
There had been three seasons of this variety show so far. The star dishes from the show have been highly praised. This variety show is thus well-known for being an eating show.
Su Xia often watched this show while eating having her diet meals in the film crew.
She nodded slightly as a sign of agreement. “Who is the other guest they intend to invite?” she asked.
“…” Xue Mingan smiled and handed the contract over to her, signaling for her to sign on it. After she signed the contract, he voiced out nonchalantly, “Lu Jingyao.”
Su Xia stopped writing at once.
She raised her eyes to look at him. She widened her eyes in shock and unbelief.
“You guys have not worked together before, right? Since you were both trending a few days ago, the production crew must have sensed that having both of you on the show would boost its viewership and popularity. Therefore, they reached out to both of you quickly,” he said.
Xue Mingan grinned. “Lu Jingyao should be accepting the invitation soon. You are the only one left,” he said.
He glanced at the contract. “Whoops, you have already signed the contract! You have no choice but to join it now. Sigh, why did you not finish listening to what I said?” he exclaimed.
Su Xia did not know what to say.
She rolled her eyes at him and grinned dauntingly. “You need to improve on your acting skills,” she said.
“Alright,” he said.
“…”
Su Xia leaned back onto the sofa and looked at Xue Mingan, who was in the midst of keeping the contract. “I am actually willing to attend variety shows with Lu Jingyao,” she said.
“You do not have to be so nervous,” she added.
Xue Mingan hummed. He obviously did not believe her. “Since you have signed the contract, it sounds like you are just trying to stand your ground,” he said.
He gestured toward the scripts on the table. “A few other film crews have shown interest in offering you a role. Finish looking through the scripts as soon as possible. I will make arrangements for you to attend some other variety shows during this period as well,” he reported.
“…” Su Xia gaped. She was just about to say something, but Xue Mingan beat her to it.
“Right, there is a show that I find not bad as well. Put it into consideration after filming for ‘Attack, Chef God’,” he told her.
Xue Mingan always spoke swiftly during times like this. He always quickly finished saying everything he wanted to say and left like he had no business talking to her anymore.
He did not give her the chance to speak at all.
