She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

The studio was much the same as before, with roses blooming all over the exterior walls, making it look like a small castle hidden in the forest. But perhaps because Jiang Lai hadn't been here for so long, she felt a little disoriented, as if something was still different.

"Your studio looks really nice!" Qin Yifan praised as she got out of the car. "The scenery here is great, perfect for taking pictures."

Setting up a studio in a villa area is certainly a good idea.

"I think my family also has a house around here." Qin Yifan took Jiang Lai's arm. "I can go stay there later, and you can come and play with me for a couple of days!"

Jiang Lai sighed and patted Qin Yifan's head. "Miss, you really know how to arrange things. I have to do an internship this summer, so I probably won't have much time to play."

Bai Luxi and Iris also got out of the car. "Come on, let's go inside and talk. It's so hot outside!"

The four people entered the room. Xiao Liu was still at the front desk. When she saw them, she smiled and said, "It's rare to see you come to the studio, little sister!"

Jiang Lai greeted, "Sister Liu! I'm usually busy, but I come whenever I have time!" Then she tugged at Qin Yifan, "My friend, she came to visit today."

"Welcome, welcome!" Xiao Liu looked at Bai Luxi: "Lei Ting and the others who have voice-over work today are still upstairs, probably still in the recording studio. Tonight, everyone wants to have dinner in the backyard, with beer and crayfish!"

"Okay, I know. We'll go buy it later," Bai Luxi said. "Shall we play upstairs or downstairs?"

Qin Yifan was curious about the studio as a whole and asked, "Can I take a look around first?"

Bai Luxi nodded: "Then you take her shopping, little sister! Iris and I will go check on the progress of the others. If we have a dinner party tonight, we'll need to make some preparations."

"Okay!" Jiang Lai readily agreed, pulling Qin Yifan upstairs: "Let's go!"

"Look, this is the lounge, there's an office and a conference room over there, and there's a movie theater upstairs—" Jiang Lai led Qin Yifan around, and just as they reached the conference room door, the person inside opened the door first.

Jiang Lai was about to speak when she turned around and saw that it was Fu An. She was taken aback, as it was someone she hadn't seen in a long time.

"Director Fu," Jiang Lai greeted him, then introduced Qin Yifan: "This is my friend, Qin Yifan, and this is the studio's director."

Qin Yifan: "Hello."

Fu An nodded, then looked at Jiang Lai, "Stay and play together tonight? Lei Ting and the others want to have a dinner party."

"Yes, Sister Xiaoliu has already said so."

Fu An looked at Jiang Lai, who seemed very interested and amused. His gaze softened, and the fatigue on his face seemed to have dissipated.

Jiang Lai noticed his fatigue and advised, "Director Fu, your health is more important than work."

Fu An smiled and replied, "Okay. I'll go up first; I still have some work to finish. Please make yourselves at home."

"Ah."

After Fu An left, Jiang Lai led Qin Yifan to look around the floor again before continuing upstairs.

"I've noticed that everyone in your studio is quite good-looking!" Qin Yifan suddenly said. "Sister Bai, Sister Iris, the receptionist, and this director—they're all handsome men and beautiful women. Does Yan Jiamin choose people based on their looks?"

“Boss Yan doesn’t appear at the studio very often,” Jiang Lai explained. “Most things are actually handled by her assistant, and the dubbing issues are also handled by Director Fu.”

"That Director Fu is pretty handsome." "Yeah, hahaha!"

The two girls chatted and laughed as they continued walking uphill.

As the night wore on and dusk approached, most people had finished their work and began to come downstairs one after another.

Bai Luxi introduced Qin Yifan, and then everyone started clamoring to eat crayfish.

There were quite a few people in the studio today, which made things more interesting, and no one had any objections.

"Why don't you go buy it yourself? I'd like to buy some snacks or something." Qinghe said, "Yongheng Plaza recently opened, there's a huge supermarket there, they have everything, want to go check it out?"

"Okay!" "Anything's fine!" No one was disappointed.

So those in the studio with cars led those without, and the group headed to the mall together.

Qin Yifan and Jiang Lai still rode in Bai Luxi's car.

"I don't usually go to supermarkets." Qin Yifan seemed a little expectant. "I do go to shopping malls, but I usually buy clothes and bags. I don't go to supermarkets much."

"Then it's perfect to take you, Miss, to broaden your horizons."

This is a large, self-service supermarket, covering a vast area and offering a wide variety of goods. Once inside, everyone dispersed to find what they wanted to buy.

Qin Yifan had no interest in the goods displayed in the supermarket, but she was very tempted by the small cart that the customer next to her was pushing.

“That little kid is sitting in that car!” She shook Jiang Lai’s hand.

Jiang Lai followed her gaze and saw a stroller specially provided for parents with children. The stroller was shaped like a small car, about half a person's height, with a child-specific seat in front, designed to resemble a driver's seat.

"That's fun!" Qin Yifan said. "That one over there is fun too!"

It was a normal shopping cart, but it was empty. Instead, a girl was sitting inside, and the person pushing the cart appeared to be her boyfriend.

"You really seem like the kind of rich girl who could be fooled by a lollipop. You need to be more careful. I suspect that a man's sweet talk can completely deceive you." Jiang Lai complained, "Come on, Miss, let me give you a try."

"Huh?" "Don't you want to give it a try?"

As a young lady from a wealthy family, Qin Yifan had never done anything like this before, and she was indeed a little itchy. Since the car was going to be pushed anyway, she figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

She only realized how interesting it was when she was sitting in the stroller, though it was a bit uncomfortable for her bottom.

Jiang Lai pushed her around in a less crowded area for a while. "You've tried it, haven't you? Next time a guy tries to woo you with this trick, don't fall for it."

"Tch! Do you think I'm that easy to fool!" She was still unconvinced, struggling to get down, and said arrogantly, "It's just so-so!"

Jiang Lai smiled without saying anything, and then went with her to pick out what they wanted to eat.

"What kind of drink would you like?" "This wine isn't very strong." "Would you like to buy some cake?"

Qin Yifan, standing beside Jiang Lai, suddenly said, "Jiang Jiang, you're so good, I love you so much, waaaaah."

"Thanks for the invitation, but I'd like to decline! I'm not into lesbian relationships."

"? Me neither!"

-

Everyone bought a lot of things to take home, and the crayfish they ordered were delivered on time.

The summer night breeze was refreshing. Everyone ate and drank, laughing heartily. When they had almost finished eating, a few of them got quite drunk.

Jiang Lai suddenly remembered the time she had dinner with the people from the studio.

She was reserved at the first dinner party and barely touched her chopsticks. She was much more relaxed at the second dinner party and drank alcohol. This time, because she had to take care of Qin Yifan, she only drank beverages.

After a satisfying meal, everyone slumped lazily in their seats. The cicadas could be heard chirping in the garden, and then everyone started singing again.

Qin Yifan was more adaptable to the situation than Jiang Lai had imagined. Her former arrogant young lady image was now quite blurry. Perhaps it was because she had grown older and become more mature. Although she was still a bit haughty, she was, in general, a cute young girl.

At that moment, she was singing a duet with others.

Jiang Lai sat to the side watching her, looking a little tired; she had played a bit too much today.

She looked around and noticed that while everyone else was playing around, Fu An had already started cleaning up the scene.

He carefully picked up the trash can and started tidying up the table; he was clearly a good family man.

Jiang Lai stretched and rubbed her stomach. She felt a little full, so a little exercise would be good.

So she stepped forward and said, "Director Fu, let me help you tidy up."

Fu An avoided her hand, saying, "No need." Then he added, "It's a bit dirty, I'll do it."

"It's okay!" Jiang Lai walked to the other side and began to pack up the takeout containers.

The two stood at opposite ends of the long table, moving about quietly, neither of them speaking.

There were quite a few garbage bags packed up, and Jiang Lai put them on the ground, intending to take them out to throw them away later.

Suddenly, she heard a soft rustling sound. Looking closely, she saw a little wildcat.

"A cat?" She instinctively stepped forward, wanting to take a look.

Fu An stopped her, "Don't go, be careful of stray cats hurting people."

Jiang Lai looked up at him, "I'll just take a look! Just one glance!"

Her tone carried an unconscious hint of coquetry and pleading, and Fu An unconsciously lowered his hand.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Lai immediately and quietly walked towards the kitten.

The kitten was rummaging through the trash bag, seemingly oblivious to Jiang Lai's approach, or perhaps it was just too bold to care. In any case, Jiang Lai successfully approached it and then reached out her hand.

Fu An was watching from the side, about to speak, when Jiang Lai's hand had already landed on the kitten's back, calling out, "Meow meow meow!"

Fortunately, the stray cat that Fu An was worried about suddenly attacking people did not happen. The kitten just responded softly twice and then continued to rummage through the garbage bag.

Fu An watched as Jiang Lai stroked the kitten all over, from its head to its tail, and even scratched its chin. She didn't care that her hand almost touched the trash. There was no disgust on her pretty face, only pure joy, and her eyes were full of love.

The kitten wasn't afraid of people; it just whimpered a couple of times and then focused on eating the shrimp shells.

"Mimi, those are all shells, and they're really oily and salty. Can you eat them?" Jiang Lai asked. "Shall I get you some small bread rolls?"

Fu An stepped forward and said, "I have some canned cat food here, I'll go get it."

"Okay!"

Fu An left quickly and returned quickly, carrying a box of cat food in his hand.

When Jiang Lai left, she had already taken the kitten away from the trash bag and started petting it. The kitten didn't seem to mind and nestled obediently in her arms, purring.

"Here it is." Fu An opened the can and handed it over.

The kitten, which had been nestled in Jiang Lai's arms, immediately smelled the food and struggled to eat it.

Jiang Lai let go of the can, put it on the ground, and the kitten came over. Jiang Lai squatted down next to it and petted its head.

"How come Director Fu has cat food?" she asked.

“I have a cat at home, and I brought it to the studio before,” Fu An explained.

"What does Director Fu's cat look like?" Jiang Lai asked.

Fu An replied, "It's a silver shaded male kitten, but it has a very sweet meow and is very affectionate..."

Perhaps because he was talking about his beloved pet, Fu An talked a lot, and Jiang Lai listened with great interest.

“That sounds so cute!” she said.

"Then next time, you can come to my house to see the cat."

Because he had done voice acting before, Fu An spoke clearly and distinctly, his voice deep and clear, as bright as moonlight.

Jiang Lai glanced at him sideways. He was handsome, but for some reason, she sensed a hint of nervousness in him.

Is this an invitation?

“Yes,” Fu An continued, “and you can come to see it anytime you want.”

"Isn't that a bad idea? People might misunderstand," Jiang Lai said casually.

Fu An opened his mouth, his tone a little downcast, "You're right. If you want to see cats, I can send you photos."

Jiang Lai could sense his disappointment and melancholy from his tone and expression; on this summer night, some of his emotions were revealed.

Fu An rarely expresses his feelings directly, and what he said tonight was the biggest test he could give.

In his mind, he was older than her and had more life experience. Expressing his feelings rashly would only offend and pressure her, and he didn't want that. Fortunately, she was still single, and he still had a chance.

Jiang Lai carefully examined Fu An. To be fair, he was an outstanding person. He might not be as eye-catching as Lin Yinchuan in appearance, but he had his own temperament and was a calm and composed person. More importantly, he was indeed a person with strong principles. Jiang Lai felt relaxed and at ease when she was with him.

Fu An sensed her scrutiny but remained silent.

To be honest, if I were to date Fu An, I'd probably be pampered! Jiang Lai thought for a moment and smiled.

If Fu An really expressed his thoughts, perhaps she would consider it.

But he seemed to have many concerns, so Jiang Lai didn't care that much. Having a crush and wanting to be together are two different things.

Jiang Lai is currently more concerned about her future development.

"If I have the chance in the future, I would like to see Director Fu's cat."

Fu An agreed, "Okay."

The two people watched the kitten purring as it ate its canned food, and for a moment neither of them spoke; the atmosphere was quiet and beautiful.

But soon someone broke the tranquility.

"Hey, this little cat is here again?" It was Lanting.

"Does Brother Lanting know?" "Yes, he's the little cat who often comes over to freeload."

Lanting casually said a couple of things, "You two are just watching the cats here? Come and play with us!"

Jiang Lai clapped her hands: "Great! Director Fu, let's go together!"

Fu An nodded: "Okay. I'll go throw away the trash first."

"We'll all go together later, Fu An, don't be busy." Lan Ting gave him a push, "Come on, come on, don't spoil the fun."

Everyone played until very late, and Bai Luxi drove Qin Yifan and Jiang Lai back to school.

When Jiang Lai returned to her dormitory, her roommates were still awake.

"Jiang Jiang, you're back! I was just thinking of calling you!" Tang Li said with a smile when she saw her return, "Did you have a lot of fun?"

“Yes! I’m so happy!” Jiang Lai echoed her words.

"Haha! That's good!"
