The teenager’s starry eyes contained an irresistible allure, the endless starlight representing endless beauty. With gentle eyebrows and a tender gaze, unlike the usual indifference, she spoke slowly, filled with blessings, as if accompanied by a tranquil BGM, making it hard to look away, "Little Fei, I hope you earn everyone’s respect, may all disasters and setbacks stay away from you, and may luck always be on your side."

A shiver ran through him as he quickly averted his gaze from the teenager’s eyes. For some reason, Xu Renfei felt reluctant to meet the pair of slowly trusting, brilliant starry eyes. It seemed as though looking into them would unlock something he’s always ignored, selectively forgotten, like Pandora’s box, out of his control.

Narrowing his peach blossom eyes slightly, Xu Renfei coughed lightly, nodding in agreement while picking up the phone still recording. With a calm expression, he stopped the recording and slid the phone into his pocket. However, unseen by others, his hand that went into the pocket alongside the phone was trembling, a thin layer of sweat covering his palm.

"We’re here."

Luo Hao’s voice brought Xu Renfei back to his senses. Looking at the dedicated recording floors outside, Xu Renfei took a deep breath and turned to Bi Xia with a smile, "Little Jiu’er, get out of the car. In a bit, you’ll hear Brother Qi’s heavenly voice!"

Bi Xia slightly paused in her movement to get out of the car, casting a disdainful glance at Xu Renfei, "Heavenly voice? Really, give you a bit of sunshine, and you start tearing the roof off."

Xu Renfei: ...How are those words even put together...

Watching the teenager walking ahead, the corners of his mouth gradually lifted. Shrugging slightly, Xu Renfei rubbed his nose. Well, thinking too much clearly doesn’t suit his personality, not cool at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Renfei quickly stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Bi Xia’s shoulder, "Bi Xiaojiu, I’ll tell you, you’re now in my domain. When I pass once through, and you’re re-recording over and over there, don’t say I’m laughing at you!"

Bi Xia slapped Xu Renfei’s hand away, chuckling, "Come on, act up, be careful you don’t end up eating your words."

Xu Renfei: ...

"Sigh," a soft sigh sounded beside him. Xu Renfei turned to see Luo Hao jotting something down, "Brother Six, why are you sighing?"

Looking at his little notebook, Luo Hao sympathetically said to Xu Renfei, "I’m mourning for the fresh notch in your history of getting smacked today."

Shaking his head, Luo Hao continued, "You probably don’t know how many times you’ve been smacked today. Since the morning, it’s been constant, it’s a wonder your face isn’t swollen yet, truly a relief."

Xu Renfei: ...This must be a fake Brother Six!

Listening to Luo Hao’s words to Xu Renfei, Bi Xia leisurely placed his hands behind her head, striding gracefully, "Xu Renfei’s face has been trained so even if smacked a thousand times, I remain calm as a mountain."

Xu Renfei: ...

"!!!!" Xu Renfei suddenly jumped up, "It’s you who’s calm as a mountain!"

He turned his face toward Bi Xia, "You think it’s easy to eat your words? Without skill, you’d have been long swollen!"

With a flick of his starry eyes, Bi Xia raised a hand and pinched Xu Renfei’s cheek hard, listening to his cries and seeing the red fingerprints left on his cheek. Bi Xia nodded with a smile, "Hmm, seems your skills aren’t enough, not thick-skinned enough."

Xu Renfei: "!!! I’m so mad I’m swearing!"

Luo Hao looked at Xu Renfei puzzled, "You’re not being a dad, how come you’re transforming into a mom?"

With a deadpan expression, Xu Renfei said, "If your IQ is insufficient, just keep quiet." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Luo Hao: ...

Knowing Xu Renfei’s double whammy of sarcasm had upset him, Luo Hao didn’t argue further and went straight to consult Bi Xia instead.

Pausing, Bi Xia appeared calm and indifferent, "I. swear."

"????" Luo Hao, usually so shrewd, looked utterly puzzled watching Bi Xia walk away. How could a disagreement turn into swearing?
