BXBX NOVEL Chapter 183 - Huo Yun Chen's Call
The moment Song Xing Xing sat on the sofa, her cat, Mr. Fluffball jumped up and curled up beside her. The entertainment news was airing the moment she switched on the television.
At this time, the news was still talking about President Lu Xun's dating news. Everyone was trying to guess at the identity of his girlfriend and they were wondering how did President Lu Xun manage to hide his girlfriend for so long.
Song Xing Xing stretched her hand to rub Mr. Fluffball on his head as she listened to the speculation on the entertainment news on her relationship with Lu Xun. A helpless sigh escaped her as she thought of Lu Xun. He should be busy handling a lot of matters after he had admitted the news of his relationship.
As his face appeared in her mind, Song Xing Xing realized that she has been missing Lu Xun a lot.
At this time, her phone started to ring. Song Xing Xing reached for the phone on the table and saw that it was someone that she had not expected. It was Huo Yun Chen. After pondering for a while, she then slid her finger on the screen to answer the call.
"Little Star, what are you up to?" Huo Yun Chen spoke the moment the call was connected.
Song Xing Xing lowered the volume on the television and spoke, "I was just watching the entertainment news."
At her side, Mr. Fluffball turned to Song Xing Xing and blinked. The look on his face showed that he was dissatisfied that he could no longer hear what the emcee from the entertainment news was talking about. He still wanted to know what was going on in the news.
"I saw the news too. Did the reporters photographed you last night after the dinner with the team?" The smile on his face stiffened as he recalled the photograph that he had seen circulating on the internet from early morning.
It seemed that her relationship with President Lu Xun was really good. During dinner with the team, President Lu Xun had insisted to sit on the same table as her. Although some of the crew thought that it was strange that President Lu had wanted to sit with the post-production crew, Huo Yun Chen knew the reason why.
"Un." Song Xing Xing nodded. "I guess so. I didn't think that someone would be able to sneak a picture of us together at the restaurant."
The place was famous for its food as well as privacy. It was not the kind of place that just anyone could go in. Lu Xun should have spent a lot of money to invite everyone to the restaurant.
"Little Star, are you alright?"
Song Xing Xing was a little startled upon hearing this question. It took her a while to answer him. "Un. I'm alright." Song Xing Xing nodded. "Why wouldn't I be?"
Huo Yun Chen chuckled. "You were always worried that my fans were going to end you after being seen with me. Now that the news of you and President Lu are out, I'm worried that you would feel suffocated. It's not easy to handle the fame. Moreover, I'm pretty sure that President Lu Xun's fans were scarier than mine. Little Star, if it gets too hard, you can always talk to me. I might not be able to do much but I can listen to you."
Something warm spread through her heart and the smile on her face widened. "Huo Yun Chen, thank you."
"Don't be too polite," Huo Yun Chen said. "Last time, you were the one who had stayed to listen to my complaints when I was recuperating from my injury. This is what I should do as a friend."
The two of them chatted about this and that and at the end, their conversation shifted towards the game.
After the phone call, Song Xing Xing headed to the bathroom and prepared herself to sleep. When Mr. Fluffball saw that she was doing her night skin routine, he immediately jumped on the bed and curled himself on his favorite spot.
Just as he was about to sleep, Mr. Fluffball suddenly raised his head and stared at the door for a long time. After listening for a while, the cat suddenly stood up and ran out of the room.
Song Xing Xing noticed her cat's abnormalities and quickly turned around. "Mr. Fluffball, where are you going?" She wiped her hand on the towel and trailed after her cat.
Mr. Fluffball was standing in front of the door and stared at it for a long time.
Just as Song Xing Xing was about to ask what was going on, someone had pressed at her doorbell. Instantly, her head turned and Song Xing Xing stared at her door with a puzzled look on her expression.
"Meow!" Mr. Fluffball rubbed his head on Song Xing Xing's legs as if urging her to open the door.
Song Xing Xing went to look at the camera and was surprised to see that Lu Xun was standing in front of the door. Swiftly, Song Xing Xing unlocked the door and stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes. "Why are you here?"
A thought came to her mind and Song Xing Xing was suddenly worried that the two of them would be photographed again.
She tugged at his hand and let him entered the house. Once she was sure that there was no one lurking outside, Song Xing Xing let out a breath of relief and turned to her boyfriend. "Didn't you say that we shouldn't be seeing each other? What if the reporters were following you?'
Lu Xun stared at the girl in front of him for a long time. The corner of his lips tilted up the moment he saw the worried look on her face. Lu Xun leaned over and pulled her into his embrace. He buried his nose in her neck and took a deep breath. "Song Xing Xing, I miss you."
Her body stiffened. The warm feeling spread from her heart all around her body. Hearing his words made her feel as if she was slowly melting like butter. Song Xing Xing was feeling a little shy and excited at the same time.
After a few seconds, she wrapped her arms around his waist and spoke, "Well, I miss you too. I thought that I would not be able to see you today." She pulled away and looked at his face. "Is it alright for you to be here? Didn't the reporters followed you around?"
"I borrowed Bei Yuan's car to come over," Lu Xun said. "Once the guard see me, they let me park in the guests' car park. This apartment building is one of the NEXT Group properties. It's not strange for me to appear here."
"That's true." Song Xing Xing cupped his face with both her hands and noticed the slight fatigue on his face.. "Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat something? I can make you something for supper."
