CSGM - Chapter 99
Chapter 99: Let You Have a Feel
Zhang Yuxue looked at Zhou Luyan, not with disappointment, but with a follow-up question:
“Then who is your friend? Can you introduce me to them?”
It didn’t matter if it wasn’t Zhou Luyan. What was important was that she now knew there was a master of that caliber nearby!
That was what excited Zhang Yuxue. As long as they were close, she would definitely pull some strings to find them!
Zhou Luyan said, “Her name is Chu Xi. She’s also an actress.”
Chu Xi?
Hmm… why did that name sound a little familiar?
Having paid little attention to the performance on stage just now, Zhang Yuxue felt like she had heard the name Chu Xi somewhere before, but she couldn’t quite recall where.
“Why do I feel like I’ve heard this name before…”
She mumbled, wondering if she was mistaken.
Zhou Luyan helped jog her memory. “Chu Xi was the one who just created an impromptu melody on stage.”
It all clicked into place for Zhang Yuxue. Oh, so it was her!
No wonder the name seemed to have floated past her ears once!
Earlier, Chu Xi had said on stage that she could remember the sounds of the keys after hearing them just once. Zhang Yuxue had thought it was some kind of special talent and hadn’t paid it much mind.
Thinking back on it now, it was like a sudden enlightenment. So Chu Xi was also a master with a super memory!
Instantly, her eyes shone with a keen light, and she excitedly thanked Zhou Luyan several times.
If it weren’t for Zhou Luyan, she would never have known that the entertainment industry had someone with such skill!
The Scream Night came to an end.
—It was finally over.
So hungry her stomach was touching her back, Chu Xi had a thought that felt akin to surviving an ordeal.
Section F was closest to the venue’s back exit, while Section A had to slowly file out from behind the crowd. Chu Xi took out her phone and sent Ren Zhi a message:
【I’m heading out first. I’ll wait for you in the parking lot.】
Ren Zhi was still sitting motionless in her chair. The aisle ahead was completely blocked by celebrities carefully making their way forward. Exiting was extremely inconvenient.
【Okay.】
Just as Chu Xi was about to leave quickly, she was suddenly stopped by an unfamiliar voice.
How strange.
She turned around impatiently and saw a young woman with a petite face, wearing a little black dress and with wavy brown hair, running toward her.
Chu Xi looked at her expressionlessly, thinking they probably didn’t know each other. Whatever it was, she hoped they’d say it in one sentence and not waste her time.
“Hello, Sister Chu Xi. Can we be friends? My name is Zhang Yuxue. Yu as in islet, Xue as in snow.”
A smile bloomed on Zhang Yuxue’s pure, youthful face as she extended a hand toward her.
The other party was very enthusiastic.
But Chu Xi didn’t share that enthusiasm for a handshake. She merely lowered her gaze to glance at the outstretched hand and said coolly:
“What is it?”
Her face might as well have been written with the words—
Strangers keep out, don’t bother me if it’s not important!
This must be the air of a master, Zhang Yuxue thought.
Geniuses aren’t close to people!
Excellent. Her eyes shining even brighter, she looked at Chu Xi and revealed her identity.
“The person who played the ‘I Am the Brain King’ game with you just now was me.”
“Oh.”
So it was her. So what?
Easy.
Zhang Yuxue said, “You’re so amazing! I never thought there was a celebrity with such a high IQ like you in the entertainment industry. I saw how you solved the Cube Minesweeper puzzle just now. I want to be as amazing as you!”
Chu Xi looked at her, her thin lips moved slightly, and she offered her a single phrase.
“In your dreams.”
She had seen this person’s skill level just now. Trying to be on the same level as her?
Isn’t that just wishful thinking?
Zhang Yuxue was at a loss for words, her expression freezing slightly. She had never encountered such a straightforward blow.
Ah… although there was a gap between her and Chu Xi…
Chu Xi’s words were a bit heartbreaking, and what was even more heartbreaking was that after saying them, Chu Xi turned and walked away.
She wore an expression that said her patience had run out and she had zero interest in her.
Zhang Yuxue quickly chased after her and grabbed her arm.
“Sister Chu Xi! Wait!”
Chu Xi let out a breath. Seeing her relentless pursuit, she said helplessly:
“Hurry up and say it.”
Seeing that Chu Xi seemed to be in a hurry, Zhang Yuxue quickly got straight to the point and stated her purpose.
She made the same request to Chu Xi as she had to Zhou Luyan moments before.
She clasped her hands together, her eyes pleading.
“Let’s add each other on WeChat.”
She wanted to participate in the Brain King show? And she wanted her to help train her for the competition events?
Chu Xi looked at the young woman before her and thought—what does this have to do with me?
She couldn’t see an IQ value above Zhang Yuxue’s head, which meant Zhang Yuxue wasn’t an artist in the entertainment industry.
“You’re not an artist, are you?” Chu Xi asked.
“Huh? No, my family is in the culture and entertainment business.”
Why ask that? Zhang Yuxue wondered.
Chu Xi patted the hand gripping her arm, signaling for her to let go.
“Then don’t look for me. Go find a professional teacher yourself.”
“None of them are as professional as you!” Zhang Yuxue cried out.
There are specialists for every field. Perhaps a professional teacher could teach her professional knowledge, but the content of the Brain King show wasn’t about ordinary education.
It was a place for geniuses in certain fields to showcase their talents.
And Chu Xi, who could crack the Cube Minesweeper, was the genius she had discovered!
Since she was being so persistent, Chu Xi had no choice but to pry her hand off and refuse her directly.
“I won’t teach you.”
“Why? Are you too busy? I can wait until you’re free… Is the tuition not enough? Then name your price. How much do you want? I’m sincere. Please teach me, I’ll definitely study hard…”
For every few steps Chu Xi took, Zhang Yuxue would follow, reciting a few more lines. Chu Xi was truly fed up with this clingy person.
She turned her head and finally said to Zhang Yuxue impatiently:
“Little sister, if you’re bad, just practice more. Don’t bother me. I’m not interested in teaching you.”
After speaking, Chu Xi walked away quickly, leaving only a merciless back that could be watched for a few seconds.
Bad, just, practice, more…
Zhang Yuxue stared at Chu Xi’s cold, distant retreating figure, her icy words echoing in her ears. She felt a little crushed!
After leaving the theater, Chu Xi quickly walked to the convenience store next door.
Paparazzi were squatting around, waiting for the celebrities to emerge from the event. Everyone else was escorted into their nanny vans by bodyguards and assistants, or they left directly from the high-security underground garage.
But Chu Xi didn’t have to worry about any of that.
Because there were too many stars far more newsworthy than her drawing the paparazzi’s fire.
She stood brazenly in front of the convenience store’s hot food counter, pointing at things—
“Chicken skewers, grilled sausage, crispy bone meatballs… and give me a piece of the Orleans-style chicken cutlet too.”
The convenience store clerk sized Chu Xi up for a few moments with a curious, or one might even say, freaked-out expression.
Is this person really a celebrity?
She was dressed glamorously, looked slim, fair, and very pretty. She was clearly from the same circle as the big stars who had just come out of the venue.
Don’t all celebrities eat standardized nutritional meals, with nutritionists controlling their diets?
How did one end up buying food from a convenience store? Weren’t they afraid it was unhygienic?
Thinking how strange it all was, the clerk packed the heated, frozen foods Chu Xi had requested for her.
Chu Xi sniffed the aroma and left, completely satisfied.
This is what people eat, she thought.
Clutching her convenience store snacks, she got into Ren Zhi’s car. Ren Zhi glanced at her several times.
It got to the point where Chu Xi kindly offered to share, holding out the food bag and asking.
“You want some?”
After sitting in the venue for so long without food, Ren Zhi must be hungry too, right?
But then again, don’t female celebrities like her dislike this kind of food?
Well, she’d ask anyway. She had bought a lot, so she could share some with Ren Zhi.
But Ren Zhi wasn’t looking at her because she coveted the street food in her hands.
Ren Zhi couldn’t help but ask Chu Xi, “Won’t eating this kind of thing ruin your figure?”
Chu Xi questioned her with a look of disbelief. “How could it?”
Taking a bite of the fragrant, tender, and oily Orleans-style chicken cutlet, she added, “Filming is so tiring. How can I manage without eating something good to replenish my energy?”
Sitting in the passenger seat, even Xiao Mei felt her own cravings stirred by the scent of the hot snacks filling the car.
“It’s all fried fast food. There’s no nutrition, and it’s fattening,” Ren Zhi reminded her. “You should eat less of this stuff.”
Otherwise, the great figure Chu Xi had worked so hard to sculpt in the training camp would probably disappear after a few meals from a street stall.
Filming had requirements for an actor’s physique.
Ren Zhi thought about it and felt it shouldn’t be a reminder, but a serious demand.
“Don’t eat this kind of thing next time. At least wait until you’ve finished filming. The crew provides you with a boxed lunch every day.”
Chu Xi glanced at her, seeming to vaguely understand what she was thinking.
“It won’t affect my filming, you can rest assured about that.”
Wearing dozens of pounds of armor for filming every day, it would be hard for her muscles to atrophy even if she wanted them to.
“Here, try a bite of this.”
Chu Xi took out a skewer of crispy bone meatballs for Ren Zhi, smiling as she described how delicious it was.
Ren Zhi frowned. “I’m not eating it.”
Chu Xi asked curiously, “Have you ever had it?”
Ren Zhi: “No.”
Chu Xi shook her head with a click of her tongue. “What a pity.”
Ren Zhi was unconcerned and shot her a disdainful look.
But this didn’t affect Chu Xi’s munching in the slightest.
She had nearly fainted from hunger in the venue. Eating some hot food now was a lifesaver.
After finishing, Chu Xi wiped her mouth, tossed the napkin into the food bag, and set the bag aside.
She suddenly reached out and grabbed Ren Zhi’s hand.
Caught off guard, Ren Zhi asked in alarm, “What are you doing?”
Chu Xi said, “Letting you have a feel.”
Feel? Feel what?
Just as Ren Zhi was wondering, Chu Xi undid the bottom button of her suit jacket, brought her hand over, and pressed it against her own abdomen.
A delicate, silky texture, along with a warm, powerful firmness, suddenly met her fingertips. Every cell in Ren Zhi’s body jolted in a way no one could see.
Chu Xi held her hand, moving it over her abs, then shifting it to the side to feel the lines there.
“Feel that? The abs and the V-lines are all there. You can even press them to check.”
Listening to the commotion in the back, Xiao Mei felt like she was holding her breath!
Oh my god, she couldn’t imagine how good that must feel for her boss right now.
Touching a pretty girl’s abs and all that is the greatest happiness!
Just thinking about it felt amazing!
Ren Zhi was completely stunned, invisible dark lines forming over her head. She was also about to suffocate.
If you have something to say, just say it. What was Chu Xi… what was she doing?!
The straight girl was fearless, while the actual gay one was panicking.
“One, two, three, four, five, six… See? Not a single one is missing.”
As Ren Zhi felt the lean, powerful abs, her fingers didn’t dare to press down, but Chu Xi was earnestly helping her hand count them out.
Proof that her figure hadn’t lost its shape and was still the same as it was in the training camp.
So Ren Zhi didn’t need to worry.
“Okay, okay, I know.”
Ren Zhi pulled her hand back, picked up a bottle of mineral water from the car door pocket, and took a sip to hide her embarrassment.
Who knew that Chu Xi’s hand, as if possessed by a wandering spirit, just couldn’t stay still. After buttoning herself up, it reached for her again.
“We haven’t slept together in a while. Let me feel yours too.”
