Xu Jiayi's words made Shi Xinxin seem a little helpless, "I don't have that idea. You are still my friend. But I don't want to trouble you, really, Xu Jiayi."
"If we're friends, don't be afraid of trouble. That's who I, Xu Jiayi, am." Xu Jiayi seemed determined to see Shi Xinxin off. "I'm telling you, Shi Xinxin. You're only telling me this now, after half a month has passed. You don't consider me a friend. And now, I want to see you off, and you refuse me. Sister, you're being too absolute in condemning me."
Shi Xinxin truly couldn't win an argument with Xu Jiayi. She wondered where Xu Jiayi got all this from. As a big star, wasn't it enough to be good at acting, photography, and singing? Why was her tongue so agile? Shi Xinxin could only roll her eyes inwardly.
Xu Jiayi knew exactly what Shi Xinxin was thinking at that moment, but she didn't care. "Anyway, if you don't let me see you off at the airport, if you don't let me personally watch you safely go to America, then from today on, I'll come to the magazine office to find you every day. Let's see who is tougher, you or me."
Speaking these words, Xu Jiayi stopped eating and looked up, as if she was ready to challenge Shi Xinxin to the end.
This left Shi Xinxin speechless.
"Alright, alright. I surrender, I raise the white flag. It's just seeing you off, do you have to be like this, Xu Jiayi?" Shi Xinxin couldn't understand.
Hearing Shi Xinxin finally soften, Xu Jiayi declared victory. "I have to be this way!"
"I didn't tell you earlier because I was afraid you would come to find me every day, that's why I didn't dare to tell you," Shi Xinxin mumbled to herself.
Although Shi Xinxin's murmur was very soft, Xu Jiayi heard it.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Shi Xinxin. You can't shake me off. After you go to America, wherever you live, you must text me," Xu Jiayi instructed Shi Xinxin.
Shi Xinxin nodded.
"Don't think to yourself that even if I agree, I won't tell you, and what can you do about it?" Xu Jiayi directly revealed Shi Xinxin's inner thoughts. Shi Xinxin was startled, almost dropping her chopsticks, which she was holding for eating.
Shi Xinxin looked at Xu Jiayi in surprise, unable to say a word.
Xu Jiayi, on the other hand, was very calm, a smile curving her lips. "I know what you're thinking, Shi Xinxin. So don't try any tricks. If you don't let me see you off, I can go and ask your supervisor when you're leaving."
As she spoke, Xu Jiayi still had a smug look on her face. "If you don't tell me where you're living, I'll go and ask your supervisor about your godforsaken place. Your magazine office must know your whereabouts, right? So to avoid so much trouble, you must tell me, otherwise no matter where you run, I can find you."
Xu Jiayi's last sentence directly crushed Shi Xinxin's little schemes, rendering them powerless before they could even stir up any waves.
Looking at Xu Jiayi, who seemed to have planned everything meticulously, smiling coldly at her.
Shi Xinxin hurriedly waved her hands, "I won't, I won't! Xu Jiayi, how could I hide anything from you? Don't worry, as soon as I get to America. Oh, no, as soon as I get off the plane, I'll tell you immediately. I will definitely tell you."
Seeing Shi Xinxin's urgent clarification, Xu Jiayi felt that her "threat" had paid off and seemed very satisfied.
"Well, it's best if you do that. Shi Xinxin, I'll be waiting for your news," Xu Jiayi said with a look of contentment.
"But!" Before Xu Jiayi could finish speaking, this turn of events startled Shi Xinxin again. She listened intently to the words of the big star Xu Jiayi, ready to be surprised at any moment.
Xu Jiayi continued unhurriedly, "When I have free time, I'll come to America to visit you. Don't live too miserably, it will break my heart. I might even just stay with you in America, rent a place next door to you, just like this."
Shi Xinxin really didn't want this to happen, so she smiled slightly. "I know, I know. Big star Xu Jiayi, I will take good care of myself and won't worry you. You can all rest assured. I'm all grown up, I really don't need you to worry too much."
Xu Jiayi nodded at Shi Xinxin's words, appearing to agree. However, Xu Jiayi's demeanor scared Shi Xinxin half to death.
This meal, which was supposed to be Shi Xinxin breaking a big piece of news to shock Xu Jiayi, turned out to be Shi Xinxin herself shocked by Xu Jiayi's omniscient information-gathering skills.
Moreover, looking back, Shi Xinxin felt that this meal had been filled with Xu Jiayi's constant intimidation and threats.
But no matter what, she had finally told Xu Jiayi the news, and Xu Jiayi had expressed her support, which made Shi Xinxin very happy.
So, by the end of the evening, Shi Xinxin had truly enjoyed her meal.
In fact, Shi Xinxin didn't know why, but she always felt very relaxed with Xu Jiayi, as if with an old friend of many years. However, Shi Xinxin was also very aware that Xu Jiayi didn't see her as an old friend; her intentions were very clear.
Yet, Shi Xinxin truly, truly wished she could change their relationship, but it seemed it hadn't happened yet.
After dinner, as Xu Jiayi had said, the room was indeed very comfortable. With no one else around, she could do as she pleased. After eating, she reclined on the sofa and rested leisurely. Not being disturbed, this feeling was quite good.
Seeing Shi Xinxin sprawled on the sofa so ungracefully, Xu Jiayi couldn't resist teasing her.
"What, you thought I was too extravagant at first, and now you're experiencing the benefits of being rich?" Xu Jiayi sat properly, without the lack of decorum Shi Xinxin displayed.
"Mm, it's really comfortable. It really feels great to be rich, incredibly great." Shi Xinxin loved this feeling.
Seeing Shi Xinxin like this, a smile couldn't help but appear on Xu Jiayi's lips. "You change very quickly."
"I'm the kind of person who would bend for five bushels of rice."
