Chapter 48 - A Secret With Huo Yun Chen

nWhen the door swung open, the noise inside the room suddenly disappeared.
nSong Xing Xing froze when she found that everyone was looking in her direction.
n
"Go in.
"
nShe heard Lu Xun's voice and snapped out of her trance.
"Oh.
"
nThe noise in the room continued as soon as she walked into the room. Song Xing Xing went back to her seat and lowered her gaze. At this time, she could almost sense that everyone was still looking at her.
nLiu Yu Sheng leaned into her friend and whispered,
"Xing Xing, why are you with President Lu and the others?
"
n
"Ah?
" It took her a few seconds to process that question. She saw that a few of the crews were leaning forward to hear their conversation and was suddenly embarrassed.
"No. I ran into them outside. We're heading toward the same direction anyway.
"
nSensing that there was no juicy gossip, everyone began to eat and chat merrily again.
nSong Xing Xing peeked at the main table where Lu Xun and the executive producers sat. At his side, his assistant, Bei Yuan sat on his right and that actress, Mu Xiao Xiao on her left.
nJust now, she had walked past that main table and had seen that the seafood was much bigger than the one on the crews' table. Song Xing Xing glanced at the woman beside Lu Xun and was suddenly jealous.
nThat actress got to sit at the main table with a lot of delicious food, but she did not eat that much. Moreover, she seemed to see that the main table was served with lobsters.
nCoincidentally, Lu Xun looked up. Song Xing Xing met Lu Xun's gaze and was momentarily stunned when she saw his lips slowly curled into a slight smile.
nSuddenly, she did not know how to react. Though she wanted to look away, Song Xing Xing found that her gaze stuck on the man's face for a long time. The chattering voice around them suddenly faded away and the only thing she could hear was the sound of her own heartbeat.
nLu Xun was the first to look away. He turned to call the waiter and whispered a few words.
nSong Xing Xing did not know what Lu Xun had said to the waiter, but she could see the waiter turning his head towards her table's direction. She quickly looked away and tidied up her bangs. Then, she picked up her cutlery again and started to eat.
nAt this time, her phone started to ring. Song Xing Xing put down her cutlery and realized that she had not turned off her alarm. It was the weekend and she was supposed to join her team in the PK match arena.
nSong Xing Xing turned off the alarm. However, the rind doesn't seem as if it has stopped. She checked her phone again and noticed that the alarm did not come from her phone. She raised her head and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
nHuo Yun Chen raised his head at this time and met her gaze. A few seconds later, he turned to the others and apologized before he continued to look at his phone.
n
"Wah! Xing Xing, your phone rang at the same time as my idol!
" Liu Yu Sheng whispered. She narrowed her eyes and smiled teasingly.
"What is this? Why does it feel as if you had a secret with Huo Yun Chen?
"
nSong Xing Xing bumped her shoulder with her friend.
"What secret something. I just set an alarm to play games, alright? Maybe your idol did the same. He is the spokesperson for that game after all.
"
n
"Ah! Now that you mentioned it!
" Liu Yu Sheng pulled out her phone.
"That PK arena.
"
nThe two of them logged into the game and ignored their surroundings to play the game.
nAs soon as she logged into the game, Song Xing Xing accepted Luna's team's request and was surprised to see that Huo Yun Chen had shown up as well.
nShe peeked at the main table and noticed that the singer had his head lowered as he looked at his phone. Song Xing Xing leaned back on her chair to prevent others from looking at her phone screen.
nMost people knew Huo Yun Chen's ID is General Huo. It would be troublesome if people found out that she was in the same team as Huo Yun Chen.
nShe tapped at the message icon and send a private message to General Huo.
nNot Your Little Star: Didn't you say that you are not going to join this week's match? I thought Luna has found a substitute for you.
nGeneral Huo: Mmm… I mentioned to Luna that I might be able to join today's match. Anyway, I don't want to drop in rankings.
nSong Xing Xing was about to mention his meeting with the producers when she realized that she might expose her secret. She quickly deleted the message.
nNot Your Little Star: Finished with your shooting?
nGeneral Huo: Don't worry. I can spend a few minutes playing games with you guys.
nShe lifted her head and saw that the man's eyes were focused on his phone. His eyes were bright and his lips were curled into a smile that made him seem younger than he looked.
nSong Xing Xing quickly looked away again. The corner of her lips tilted up slightly as she thought about Huo Yun Chen's smile again.
nAt this time, their team leader, Luna instructed them to get ready for the match.
nBecause they were out in public, Song Xing Xing had to restrain herself from muttering some cursing words as their opponents attacked them fiercely. After fifteen minutes in the arena, the match ended.
nSong Xing Xing looked at the ranking and was relieved that she did not drop off in personal ranking. Because of this, she had received a few rare materials to help her upgrade her armor.
nClicking at her friends' icon, Song Xing Xing realized that General Huo had logged out of the game as soon as the event was over. She looked up towards the main table again and saw that the man was now engaged in a conversation with their big boss, Lu Xun.
nHer view was suddenly blocked by a few waiters. She looked around and saw that the waiter was distributing lobster dishes to every table.
n
"President Lu Xun sent you this,
" the waiter whispered as he got closer to her.
"Miss, please enjoy your meal.
"
nSong Xing Xing looked at the size of lobster in front of her and found that it was bigger than the others. Instinctively, she raised her head and saw that Lu Xun was looking at her with a gentle smile on his face.
nHer heartbeat accelerated and it felt that some bubbles were popping softly all around her.
nWill it be appropriate for her to think that Lu Xun had ordered these dishes because he knew that she liked seafood?
n
