Mysterious Assistant of the Washed-Up Queen

After packing up quickly, Yiyi came over and said that Xu Qingqiu had already finished. An impatient Chu Tian hurried over.

"Qingqiu!"

Just as Chu Tian entered and called out her name, before he could say anything else, he saw a figure fly towards him, which he subconsciously caught in his arms.

When he looked down at the warm, soft body in his embrace, he saw Xu Qingqiu looking up at him.

"Miss me?"

"Mmh~ Yes~"

Seeing this, Yiyi silently rolled her eyes, then quietly closed the door and walked out, leaving the time and space to these two lovebirds.

What followed was naturally not a scene inappropriate for children; the two just shared an affectionate moment and then sat down to chat leisurely.

After all, they still had to work tomorrow, and Chu Tian wasn't the type to be reckless.

"How have you been? Tired recently?"

"It's okay. It's been busy, but that's better than before when I wanted to be busy but had nothing to do," Xu Qingqiu said with a smile.

Chu Tian truly didn't see much fatigue on her face; instead, there was a hint of excitement and happiness.

"Oh, by the way, Ruyan messaged me today. She asked when I'm free and said she wants to treat me to a meal. I feel like something's off."

Ruyan? My sister-in-law? Inviting her to eat? Chu Tian's eyes flickered; he had a guess. As I expected, is my sister-in-law going to confess?

"What's off?"

"I don't know. I just feel like she's hiding something from me. And you might not know this, but my sister is a total miser. For her to treat me to a meal, either the sun has to rise in the west, or she's up to something."

HISS~

This darned sixth sense! Chu Tian had thought Xu Qingqiu was oblivious, but she could guess so much from just one message? Why do I suddenly feel a chill down my spine?

He thought about it and was relieved he wasn't the promiscuous type. Otherwise, with his personality, just sniffing around some "flowers" outside would probably mean coming home to kneel on the washboard.

"Forget it, let's not talk about her now. It's probably nothing serious. I'll check on what she's up to when I get back." Xu Qingqiu waved her hand, not wanting to discuss such things during their precious time together.

"Right, tell me, what's the deal with that Phoenix Legend group?"

"Oh, that... that's a long story," he said.

Seeing her curious expression, Chu Tian smiled and recounted what had happened at the studio recently.

Since he had personally managed it and the results were good, he was naturally happy to share it with his girlfriend. After all, what man doesn't like to show off a little in front of the person he likes?

Moreover, Xu Qingqiu was a very appreciative audience, and Chu Tian talked on and on, thoroughly enjoying himself.

The two of them grew more animated as they chatted, completely losing track of time until Yiyi finally came over and shooed him out.

"Brother Chu, it's about time. Sister Qiu has to work tomorrow; she needs to rest."

"Okay then, I'll head back now. Good night."

"Mmh~ Good night..."

Xu Qingqiu watched him with a pitifully reluctant gaze, but there was nothing to be done; he definitely couldn't stay.

Although Chu Tian also found it hard to leave, he returned to his room feeling quite glum.

When Chu Tian woke up the next morning, he checked his phone and found out that Xu Qingqiu and her team had already left for the studio.

She probably knew he must be tired from the journey, so Xu Qingqiu had just left him a message without disturbing his sleep.

However, she did provide the address for the commercial shoot, so he quickly got up, washed up, and took a taxi to the location.

He then stayed by Xu Qingqiu's side all day, bustling about like a truly diligent assistant.

Seeing him like this, Xu Qingqiu's smile never left her face all day, which made Yiyi's teeth ache with frustration.

These two were really too much, still engaging in public displays of affection even at work.

「And this state continued until the next day.」

"What kind of variety show are we recording today? Why is it so far away?"

"It's a reality show, a travel-themed one. This is the third stop, and I'm a guest star today."

In the production team's van, Chu Tian sat next to Xu Qingqiu, helping her adjust her clothes while they chatted.

"A reality show, huh? Are there any game segments? They won't be too intense, will they?"

Thinking of the intense physical games in some reality shows from his previous life, Chu Tian felt a little worried.

The main reason was that Xu Qingqiu's previous injury had frightened him, and he was terrified she might get hurt again.

Also, he felt it wasn't very becoming for Xu Qingqiu to be seen grappling with others on screen. Perhaps that was just a bit of his own possessiveness.

"There are some games, but they're mostly indoor riddle-solving types. The production team didn't mention any outdoor games."

"Oh, that's good."

「Just as they were speaking, the car arrived.」

As soon as Xu Qingqiu got out of the car, she was met by the production team, not even having time to greet Chu Tian. He could only gather his things and silently follow behind.

When they arrived at the recording site, the production team had already set everything up and was practically ready to go.

Chu Tian stood quietly at the back with his bag, watching.

"Brother Chu, here, this is your work pass."

"I get one of these?" Chu Tian asked, a little surprised by the work pass Yiyi handed him.

"Of course you do. Put it on quickly, or you might get kicked out by security when filming starts."

This wasn't an empty threat. After all, a production team is a professional working group, and some rules had to be observed. Otherwise, any stranger could just wander into the team area, perhaps even get close to the director,
