Chapter 167: Chapter 167: The Date

“Alas~” Ye Xian entered the game interface, selected Wu Zetian, “She likes me.”

“…” Jiang Wen was taken aback, “You noticed too? No, she confessed to you? You agreed? You started dating?! Ye Xian, don’t scare me!”

Jiang Wen’s voice became increasingly shrill, like an eunuch proclaiming the morning court in ancient times. Ye Xian slightly moved the phone away, “What are you thinking about? I meant the kind of admiration she has for me. I’m so much younger than her, in her eyes I’m just a little brother, how could she possibly like me? The operations on Weibo were just for the drama’s promotion.”

Jiang Wen took a deep breath, “You almost scared me to death, but you still need to keep your distance from her, stop interacting with her. Now that Business World has also finished airing, it’s time to untie the CP. Having too many CP fans does more harm than good to your career, it will prevent you from getting a lot of resources.”

“Got it.”

Ye Xian hung up the phone and began to play the game.

After an effortless series of ten consecutive wins, she began to contemplate what Jiang Wen had said.

It was true, having too many fans of a real person CP would not only impede her from getting resources but also affect public perception. When Business World was airing, fans were okay shipping the couple inside the drama, but it had to be controlled in reality.

Ye Xian opened WeChat, planning to talk to Jiang Xin about this matter, but unexpectedly…

There were already dozens of unread messages in Jiang Xin’s chat window.

They started with casual warm greetings and ended with her worrying something had happened to Ye Xian because she hadn’t replied.

Ye Xian had been busy shooting commercials and completely forgot about the WeChat messages she had sent.

Ye Xian felt somewhat guilty and quickly sent a reply.

.co

[Ye Xian]: I’ve been busy with work and forgot to reply, sorry about that.

Shortly after the message was sent, the reply came almost immediately: [As long as you’re okay. Have you had dinner?]

[Ye Xian]: I have, about to wash up and go to bed.

[Jiang Xin]: Okay, get some rest if you’re tired, have sweet dreams, and don’t forget about our lunch date on the weekend~

Lunch date on the weekend?

Ye Xian scrolled up to find that an invitation for lunch had already been sent to her.

Weekend at ten o’clock, at Romantic Lovers, table number 21.

With the online CP craze being so hot right now and her being one of the protagonists, she wasn’t afraid of being photographed and dared to openly make a date in a restaurant?

Ye Xian shook her head, not expecting Jiang Xin, who seemed so meticulous, to be so bold.

But since she had made the invitation, Ye Xian figured she’d go and discuss the specific steps to untie their on-screen CP.

Weekend, at the Romantic Lovers restaurant.

Jiang Xin arrived half an hour early, ordered a table full of dishes, and waited quietly for Ye Xian.

Before long, the figure of a young man appeared at the restaurant entrance.

He was dressed in a black jacket with cropped, fringed pants today, casual shoes on his feet, a cap on his head, wide sunglasses over his high bridge nose, and a mask covering half of his delicate face, practically shouting ‘I am an ordinary person, you can’t see me.’

Jiang Xin had to laugh a little; he didn’t realize how futile these measures were. As him, even wearing a torn sack could make him the center of attention in a crowd.

Ye Xian followed the waiter to table number 21 and paused slightly upon seeing Jiang Xin.

She was dressed in a spaghetti strap dress today, the top half covered in sparkling sequins, with an asymmetrical lace skirt below. Her sharp black hair had been dyed light brown, slightly curled on the sides, with a soft and sophisticated makeup look. A pair of tassel earrings accentuated her beautiful face shape.

Her attractiveness seemed to have jumped several grades since the filming days.
