Chen Che looked at Lin Xi and said, “Then if you don’t feel guilty, finish what you’re about to say. For example, ‘ugly’, ‘small eyes and single eyelids are still dim’, ‘average figure’, ‘short height and short legs’.”

He looked at Lin Xi curiously and expectantly. “Can you say it? I’m listening.”

Lin Xi bit her lip and carefully sized up his face and figure. Chen Che generously let her see as much as she wanted.

After a long while, Lin Xi suppressed her laughter and sighed softly. “The heavens spent a lot more time on you!”

“That’s right.” Chen Che nodded. “I’m so handsome that you can’t say anything bad about my features. Unfortunately, such a good appearance was given to a comedic character. It’s really a waste. The heavens are unfair to you.”

“As long as you understand.” Lin Xi ignored him and gestured to Chen Che. “Tell me your phone number.”

Chen Che was enlightened and took out his phone. “By the way, let’s exchange phone numbers.”

She shook her phone. “I’ve changed my phone. It’s sponsored by OPPO.”

He lowered his head and asked for her phone number. At the same time, he muttered, “It’s a pity they didn’t ask me for an endorsement.”

Lin Xi handed over the number and said softly, “Don’t be nervous anymore. Relax. It’s not good to smash your phone randomly. You don’t have to care so much about other people’s sponsorship.”

Chen Che was surprised and subconsciously stared at her. “How did you know that my last phone was broken?”

Lin Xi paused and looked at Chen Che. “Stop dawdling. Call me! I’m waiting for you.”

Chen Che looked at her and did not ask further. He dialed the number she had given him and waited for the phone to ring before saving each other’s contacts. Lin Xi marked Chen Che as ‘Variety Prince’.

She glanced at the name Chen Che had recorded and smiled, pretending not to see it.

“I don’t have a license!”

Chen Che was suddenly stunned, then shook his head helplessly.

During the meal, they did not say much. Lin Xi only mentioned that she would join the production team at the end of March to film a television drama called ‘Passionate Song’. The main filming location was Xiangshan Film City in Zhejiang Province.

She wanted to inform everyone in advance that because the first episode of the show would not be broadcast until the end of March, it would have to wait until April 14th.

Zhang Enyi did not say much and only asked everyone to try their best to coordinate the time.

This had been discussed from the beginning.

After all, not only Lin Xi, but every member might encounter a similar situation.

Then, he asked Chen Che for his opinion on this episode of the production team’s filming.

This was because after returning yesterday, Chen Che had shown him the plan. He wanted to hear his opinion today and filming would start tomorrow.

Lin Xi smiled and said that Zhang Enyi was biased. If she was capable, she too would be placed in an important position.

Zhang Enyi only smiled.

Chen Che did not agree. Instead, he pondered.

Then, he said that he would think about it tonight and see if he could find an idea.

Zhang Enyi suggested that he take advantage of his free time to understand a few scenes and locations. Perhaps he could come up with some ideas on the spot.

In fact, in the first and even the second episode, Chen Che had already been recognized by Zhang Enyi in terms of planning ability.

Although they were all his parts, he would not agree to film them if they were not valued.

What he had to check was his future performance as a fixed member of the variety show.

Zhang Enyi also revealed that the first and second episodes had gone through the rough cut edits.

Getting past the reviews was not an easy task, but Chen Che relied on his talent to successfully pass from the introductory film to the second episode.

However, this did not mean that he could relax.

After lunch, Chen Che decided to walk around the venue and experience the atmosphere of the filming location.

During this period of time, he had been busy with work and had no chance to go out and play.

He did not like to travel to begin with. He always felt like a passerby.

Zhang Enyi lent Chen Che a sponsor’s car so that he could explore around.

However, when he was bidding farewell to Lin Xi, Chen Che suddenly exclaimed, “I don’t have a driver’s license!”

In fact, Chen Che did not bring his driver’s license. Although he did not have to worry about this problem when filming in Africa, it was private time and filming had yet to begin.

As an artiste, driving without a license would negatively affect his reputation.

Lin Xi looked at Chen Che in surprise. “You don’t have a driver’s license?”

Chen Che replied awkwardly, “Yes.”

Lin Xi said, “Since I’m free, why don’t we go take a look together? At the same time, 1 can understand the filming location in advance.”

When Chen Che heard Lin Xi’s words, he asked in surprise, “You know how to drive?”

Lin Xi took the car keys and smiled. “Who doesn’t know how to drive now? This is already a necessary life skill.”

Chen Che nodded in agreement and followed Lin Xi to the front passenger seat.

“The weather is getting hotter and hotter,” Chen Che suddenly said.

Lin Xi replied, “Yes.”

“Maybe it’s because we’re very close to the south?” Chen Che said again.

Lin Xi turned around and looked at Chen Che. She realized that he was looking at her hands holding the steering wheel with a gentle gaze that was the opposite of his usual teasing, strange, poisonous tongue, and jokes.

“What are you looking at?” Lin Xi asked curiously.

Chen Che came back to his senses and lowered his head with a smile. “1 suddenly realized that I don’t seem to have many friends.”

“I don’t know how to respond.” Chen Che smiled bitterly.

Lin Xi smiled and said, “Aren’t Brother Chao and the director considered friends? They’re all very good to you.”

Chen Che waved his hand. “Brothers don’t count. After all, there’s a huge age difference.”

Lin Xi’s eyes lit up. “Then are there people of the same age?”

Chen Che smiled. “You must have a lot of friends, right?” He asked mischievously, “For example, those high school classmates who haven’t contacted each other for a long time?”

Lin Xi understood that he was referring to Gong Wanqing. She glared at him and said softly, “It’s actually not difficult to make friends in the entertainment industry, but it’s not easy to really become close friends. Once you become famous, many things become complicated. Most of them are friends in the industry. Sometimes, they don’t dare to confide in you.”

Chen Che smiled and said, “I dare.”

Lin Xi chuckled. “There’s no need. Keep it for yourself.”

Chen Che sighed. “As expected.”

“What do you mean by ‘as expected’!” Lin Xi glared at him.

Chen Che smiled at Lin Xi. “Your driving skills are not bad.”

Lin Xi said humbly, “Actually, 1 don’t drive much either. Two years ago, when I was filming ‘All Ladders of Love’, I even hit a truck. 1 was so frightened that 1 cried.”

Chen Che looked at her and silently buckled his seatbelt.

Lin Xi couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s really not that serious.”

Chen Che hummed and pretended not to hear.

“Ha,” Lin Xi said helplessly. “Alright, stop talking.”

What was originally quite tragic sounded so relaxed and humorous when he said it.

However, he never mentioned those depressing things to anyone.

“This is Erhai, right?” Lin Xi looked out of the window and suddenly said.

“I don’t know. I think so?” Chen Che also looked out of the window.

“By the way.” Chen Che suddenly remembered. “I haven’t called Sister Chen.”

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and was about to dial.

Lin Xi teased, “Do you really have to report your schedule to Sister Chen?”

Chen Che pressed his phone against his ear. “At least I’m still an artiste of the company.”

After the call was picked up, Sister Chen seemed to be very busy. After a short conversation, she hung up..
