Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (59)

When she saw Chu Xiang, she froze for a moment and walked in the door. Staring at Chu Xiang carefully, she spoke, “You… don’t look like you’ve been through a heartbreak…Are you actually alright?”

Chu Xiang took the things in her hand and placed them on the coffee table to open them, “Of course I’m fine; do you think I can get away with lying in front of you?”

“But wait, why are you fine?” Yin Tong took off her shoes and sat next to Chu Xiang with a face full of disbelief. Looking sideways at her, she asked, “Didn’t you love Chen Lifeng a lot? I’ve persuaded you countless times in the timespan of 8 years to not believe his words, but when have you ever listened to me? Are you seriously letting him go this time?”

Yin Tong narrowed her eyes to look at Chu Xiang before she leaned closer to her and asked, “Student Chu Xiang, look into my eyes and tell me that you are not taking yourself as Chen Lifeng an underground lover(1)! Hurry and tell me!”

Chu Xiang scoffed and let out a laugh, throwing herself onto the sofa, “Sigh, do you think that I’m a fool? What do you mean by underground lover? I think I’m already merciful since I haven’t marched up to him and give him a good punch in the face. After all this, who on Earth would willingly be his underground lover?”

Yin Tong stroked her chin and nodded, “It seems that you really didn’t. Eh? Then I can’t figure it out. Why have you changed so much, to the point where you feel like a different person?”

“Ding dong~” The doorbell rang and Chu Xiang went to open it. In front of her stood Fang Zhenxuan, who was holding an enamel pot, as she asked unexpectedly, “What is this?”

Fang Zhenxuan said, “I just made some soup and it’s very light to the stomach. It is healthier to drink a bit of this before eating supper. Your stomach is not that good, so you should take good care of your health.”

“Oh, okay, you can put it on the coffee table for me,” Chu Xiang stepped aside and saw Yin Tong leaning against the back of the sofa, gazing towards them. She introduced the two, “Do you know who this is? He’s my current work partner, Fang Zhenxuan. Zhenxuan, this is my best friend, Yin Tong.”

“Hello.”

“Hi.”

Fang Zhenxuan placed down the soup pot and the two shook hands. Fang Zhenxuan said to Chu Xiang with a smile, “I still want to continue watching the variety shows you sent me, so I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll go back first.”

“Okay.”

Chu Xiang sent Fang Zhenxuan out and when she turned around, she saw a clear smile on Yin Tong’s face. Immediately, she smiled, “It’s not what you think.”

Yin Tong raised her eyebrows, still leaning on the sofa, “What am I thinking about? Perhaps, you’re the one who is overthinking? I’ll say, I was wondering how you aren’t that saddened even after being dumped by Chen Lifeng, but I see that you have someone else in line! Seriously, he actually looks a lot better than Chen Lifeng— I mean, at least he’s handsome. Plus, he’s so young, but he’s got such a caring heart.”

Yin Tong turned back and lifted the lid of the soup pot, causing the pleasant smell to waft out instantly. She closed her eyes and relaxed, “He’s so considerate. He was afraid that you’ll hurt your stomach with all this food, so he specially cooked up some soup for you. Oh right!” She was puzzled as she looked at Chu Xiang anxiously, “He came over here just like this without any prior notice… Does he live in the opposite apartment?”

Chu Xiang nodded as she took two bowls out of the kitchen, “Serve it yourself! At any rate, it’s convenient for us to live opposite of each other. Before you came, I was filling him in on the tricks on how to record a variety show. If anything happens or if one of us needs help, we can do it with ease.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about the personal relationship between you two and just discuss you both as artist and manager. If he lives opposite you, there is basically no possibility of chim lying to you since you will know anything he does. Well, that’s not bad,” Thinking about Chu Xiang’s situation and putting herself in her best friend’s shoes, she felt that it was a satisfactory arrangement.

She served Chu Xiang a bowl of soup and looked at her seriously, “Are you actually alright? If you want to cry, I will lend you my shoulder at any time.”

“Crying for that scumbag? Is he worthy of my tears?” Chu Xiang took a sip of the soup and urged Yin Tong to drink it too, “Zhenxuan’s cooking skills are really good, so you should drink some too. You haven’t eaten well in that valley for a long time, right? ”

“I know right? Even if I wasn’t coming to visit, I was still going to buy a bunch of goodies,” Yin Tong joked and obviously calmed herself, “You also know that there is no signal or network in the ravine where I went. I stayed there for half a year, so I was used to not using my mobile phone. I didn’t even think about charging it and did it once I got home. Who would have thought that there would be hundreds of news and messages that bombarded my phone till it died after I checked it? It was then that I found out something had happened to you.”
