An Lan and I chatted while walking, and we talked about some of her innermost thoughts, which also helped me understand her better.
It also made me admire her even more. A woman like her should have been able to live the life she wanted comfortably.
But for the sake of her family's reputation and to find out the truth behind her father's murder, she had to give up something and transform herself into a strong woman.
But I also know that she also has a weak side, and she also needs to be protected, especially when she is in front of me. She will laugh, feel sad, and respond to my unreasonable jokes.
This is the most real her, and this is what makes me miss her so much.
The cell phone rang without warning. I took it out of my pocket and saw that it was Sun Xiaojie calling.
I answered the call, and Sun Xiaoxiao's voice came over immediately: "I have already told my agent, and he said he would come to Chongqing tomorrow and let's talk together."
"Okay, let's call you tomorrow."
"I came all the way here to tell you such good news, why don't you treat me to a meal to express your gratitude?"
"I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
"Tch, you are so boring."
Because the surroundings were quiet, An Lan also heard Sun Xiaojie's voice on the phone. She then whispered to me: "Ask her to come here and let's have dinner together tonight."
I hesitated for a while, and then said to Sun Xiaojie on the other end of the phone: "Let's do it! I'll give you an address, and you can take a taxi here now."
"Can't you come and pick me up?"
"Are you a child?"
"It's so insincere. Do you know that if someone wants to treat me to dinner, they have to make a reservation in advance? It's better for you. I asked you to pick me up and you said I was a child."
"Do you want to come or not?"
"Come on, come on, who told me to be so obedient? Where am I?"
After I told her the address, I hung up the phone.
An Lan rolled her eyes at me and said, "You should treat her better. She is a big internet celebrity after all. We should really send a car to pick her up."
I smiled bitterly and said, "It's not necessary, she will come."
An Lan knew what Sun Xiaoxiao meant by coming out to find me. I already told her yesterday.
She then said to me: "Have you considered going on the show with her?"
"Well, I think this is an opportunity, what do you think?"
"I have also talked with Cai Xinman about this matter. We have always thought that you can go, but by then their company will probably poach you with a high salary."
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I only belong to you."
An Lan was suddenly stunned for a moment. Maybe she was not used to my sudden tender words.
Then she smiled again, subconsciously raised her hand to tuck her hair, and said, "It would be great if we could dig Sun Xiaojie over. Let's try again tonight. I still don't want to give up."
"Yes." Although I nodded in agreement, I knew in my heart that Sun Xiaojie would never come.
Although I haven't had much contact with Sun Xiaojie, I can feel that she is a very kind and loyal person. Although she is a bit arrogant in character, she has the capital.
An Lan and I went to the kitchen and helped my mother prepare dinner together. Because we wanted to entertain Sun Xiaoxiao, An Lan decided to add two more dishes at the last minute.
The three of us were busy for a while, until I received a call from Sun Xiaoxiao again, and she told me that she had arrived.
After An Lan found out, he put down what he was busy with and went out with me to meet Sun Xiaojie.
It was enough to show how much An Lan cared about Sun Xiaojie.
In fact, it is understandable that if I were An Lan, I might be more proactive than her, even at all costs.
What I say doesn't mean that I won't help An Lan, but that I know that Sun Xiaojie doesn't want to come, so I just try my best.
Outside the door, Sun Xiaoxiao was dressed as if he was wrapping himself into a rice dumpling. He also wore a furry hat, scarf, mask and sunglasses.
Even if she wraps herself up like this, she can still feel that she is a beauty, because a person's understanding of beauty can be seen in the way she dresses.
An Lan took the initiative to step forward and said to Sun Xiaojie very enthusiastically: "Xiaoxiao, you are welcome to come and be our guest. Please come inside."
Sun Xiaojie then took off his sunglasses, glanced at An Lan, then looked at me and said, "I'm invited to dinner, so you're here?"
I wasn't as enthusiastic as An Lan, so I said expressionlessly: "What's wrong here? Do you know that home-cooked side dishes are the most valuable these days, and my mother cooks them herself, so what else do you have to complain about?"
Sun Xiaojie's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile: "If that's the case, then it's my fault that I said the wrong thing."
After inviting her in, An Lan greeted her in various ways and took her around the yard.
Really, I have never seen An Lan take such initiative with anyone. Even Liang Jing could not make An Lan so interested.
But I felt worthless for her, because Sun Xiaoxiao would never come.
Naturally, I didn't go to the front and back to greet her. I went to the kitchen to help my mother cook.
Until An Lan came in and called me, she said to me: "Chen Feng, you go out and talk to Sun Xiaojie, I will help auntie."
"I'm fine. You should go and accompany her. I'm stupid and don't know what to say."
"She's here for you, so you can say something."
I shrugged and had to change places with An Lan.
When I came outside, I saw Sun Xiaoxiao playing with Diudiu. It seemed that she liked the dog very much.
I slowly walked up behind her, and without rushing to speak, I took out a cigarette and lit it.
The sound of the lighter alarmed Sun Xiaoxiao. She seemed to be startled. She looked back at me and frowned: "Why are you walking without making any sound? It scared me to death."
"So cowardly?"
"Can it not be scary? It was peaceful and quiet, but suddenly a strange sound came from behind. You will be shocked, too."
I didn't broach the subject with her. I glanced at Diudiu and asked her wordlessly: "You also like dogs?"
"It's not bad! I like cats. I have three cats at home."
"No wonder you are so unique."
"Does this have anything to do with me having a cat?"
"Of course, cats are proud animals. They don't submit to anyone or any animal, just like you."
Sun Xiaojie narrowed his eyes, was silent for a while and said, "I feel like you are scolding me, but I have no evidence."
I smiled again and said, "Let me tell you something. I have created an account on Douyin. Do you want to follow me?"
"Really? What's your name?" Sun Xiaoxiao suddenly became interested.
"It's called Outdoor Afeng, just search for it."
Sun Xiaojie glanced at me and sneered, "What a name! It's too unpleasant."
"It doesn't matter whether it sounds good or not, as long as it can be remembered by others."
"That's true." Sun Xiaoxiao said, taking out my phone and searching.
After a while, she clicked on my homepage and asked me, "Is this it?"
I glanced at it and nodded, and Sun Xiaoxiao decisively clicked his attention.
Then she added: "Why don't you have any fans? Are you too shabby? Look at me, I have more than 23 million, are you envious?"
"How about you give me the change?" I said jokingly.
Sun Xiaojie smiled and said: "If you can take it, you can take it. The key is whether you have the ability."
I shrugged and asked her again: "By the way, has a super internet celebrity like you affected your daily life?"
"It's okay! Anyway, no matter where I go now, I'm easily recognized by people. You see, I'm fully armed most of the time outside."
After saying that, Sun Xiaojie sighed again: "There is a saying: You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to have traffic and live a stable life at the same time, that's impossible."
I nodded in agreement, and after a moment of silence, I got straight to the point and asked her: "What are your plans in the future? Are you planning to keep doing this?"
