Chapter 36
Zhi Yao walked according to the directions given by that person, but after going around east and west for half a day, she still hadn't found the filming crew.
She couldn't help but knock her own forehead.
"How silly of me, how silly of me!"
She had come so many times before, how could she get lost just because the door was changed?
Surrounded by filming crews hurrying to film scenes, she really didn't dare interrupt them.
Since that was the case, she would find the previous big door and walk the path again. She refused to believe she couldn't find it!
The young girl suddenly turned around and a black shadow appeared in her vision. Before she could make out what it was, her body had already bumped into it first.
"Ow!" Zhi Yao rubbed her head, bewildered as she raised her head to look at this stranger in front of her.
"Are you alright?"
A clear and cold voice came from above Zhi Yao's head. Only then did Zhi Yao see clearly the appearance of the person in front of her.
It was a man.
The man was about 1.9 meters tall. Zhi Yao barely reached his shoulders. Even standing on her toes, she couldn't quite make out the man's face.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" She hurriedly waved her hand, "I'm alright, I'm really sorry, it was my fault for not looking."
After saying this, she turned to leave.
Suddenly, the man spoke again, "Are you looking for the filming crew of Fox Spirit Biography?"
Zhi Yao stopped sharply in her tracks, "How...how did you know?"
"You were trending all day on Weibo yesterday. It would be hard not to recognize you." He chuckled mockingly. Only then did Zhi Yao get a clear look at the man's appearance.
She stared blankly.
No doubt the man was very good looking, but compared to Pei Chiyao...he was still lacking a bit.
His style was the complete opposite of Pei Chiyao's.
If Pei Chiyao was an aloof beauty, only to be admired from afar but not to be profaned, then the man before her eyes...was a bit like...
A black lotus flower.
She didn't know why, but that was her first impression of him.
His sharp phoenix eyes were slightly upturned, the corners of his lips half curled in an almost roguish manner. Wherever his gaze swept, it seemed to carry a hint of frivolity.
Zhi Yao instinctively disliked the look in the man's eyes a little.
"Oh." The little girl recalled what she had seen on Pei Chiyao's phone yesterday. That must have been the trending topic he mentioned.
Before she could gather her thoughts, in the next second, the man grabbed Zhi Yao by the collar and lifted up her whole body.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Zhi Yao struggled as she dangled her legs, "What are you doing?!"
He smiled unpleasantly, "Of course, helping a lost carrot find her way."
Lost carrot?
Zhi Yao knitted her brows, "I'm not some carrot! I'm a pretty little..."
Before she could finish speaking, she abruptly stopped herself, almost letting something slip!
"Anyway, put me down!"
She kicked her legs in the air a couple times.
Jiang Zhu's eyes roamed, enjoying the sight of the dangling carrot's legs for a good while, laughing more and more unrestrainedly, "Why so short?"
Zhi Yao: "..."
Are you polite?! Are! You! Polite!
She wasn't short at all, she was 1.67 meters tall!
But compared to Jiang Zhu's 1.9 meter height, Zhi Yao looked like a child.
"Carrot head, follow me closely."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhi Yao's feet touched the ground. Caught unprepared, her legs were still flailing about and Jiang Zhu let go. With a "plop" Zhi Yao knelt directly on the ground.
"Hahahahaha!" Jiang Zhu laughed until he almost couldn't breathe, "I say, carrot head, there's no need to be so grateful to me right? It was effortless on my part."
Zhi Yao: "..."
She was so angry she was about to explode!
This guy is a psycho!
Zhi Yao took a couple deep breaths, desperately suppressing the anger in her heart.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhu leaned in, scrutinizing Zhi Yao's face closely, "Wow, carrot head isn't about to cry is she?"
Unable to endure anymore, no more need to endure!
"Are you crazy?!"
Zhi Yao finally lashed out.
She hadn't originally wanted to scold anyone. After all, she was a polite little fox spirit. But this guy really had problems!
"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you." He put both hands in his pockets, walking ahead.
"I was wondering how an asexual like Pei Chiyao suddenly fell in love. And with a carrot head who looks underage no less. Turns out...you are indeed a rather interesting carrot head."
Asexual? What's that?
Underage-looking carrot head refers to her?
Zhi Yao was very confused.
She was still pondering the meaning behind the man's words when suddenly, everything went dark in front of Zhi Yao again. She bumped into Jiang Zhu's back once more. Wincing in pain, she rubbed her head, "Ow..."
Jiang Zhu clicked his tongue, "So Pei Chiyao likes dumb girls."
"We're here."
With Jiang Zhu saying this, Zhi Yao finally noticed that they had arrived at the filming site entrance.
"Here you go." Jiang Zhu fished something out of his pocket and held it out in front of Zhi Yao. "This is my business card. If you and Pei Chiyao break up one day, you can come find me. I've never dated a dumb girl before, it seems like it would be interesting."
Although Zhi Yao didn't understand what he meant by breaking up, she could tell he had just called her dumb!
Bah!
"You're the dumb one!!" The little girl glared fiercely at him before striding into the filming site.
As soon as she entered, she saw Pei Chiyao with a dark expression, berating Older Brother Sun.
"She's young and ignorant, that's why I asked you to look after her. But what did you do? You went and lost her on me!"
Older Brother Sun also felt terrible. At the time, he had been so worried about Pei Chiyao that he thought since Zhi Yao was already an adult, at worst she wouldn't get lost. But he didn't expect that Zhi Yao had really gotten lost...
"I thought since she was already an adult, there's no way she could get lost..." Older Brother Sun mumbled very softly.
He didn't dare meet Pei Chiyao's eyes at all.
Pei Chiyao seldom got angry, but when angry, he was truly terrifying.
He naturally had an overpowering aura. Just standing there now was enough to render people speechless.
"Pei Chiyao! How did you get back faster than me!"
Upon hearing Zhi Yao's voice, Older Brother Sun immediately lifted his head in disbelief.
Pei Chiyao was also startled. Not waiting for Zhi Yao to walk over, he strode over to her in a few quick steps, "Where did you go?"
His expression was very ugly.
"I...I got a little lost just now."
She was a bit frightened seeing him like this too.
Only then did Older Brother Sun breathe a sigh of relief, "Ye ancestors! You're finally back."
If Zhi Yao hadn't come back, he would definitely have been skinned alive by Pei Chiyao.
"It's fine, it's fine, I won't get lost."
This filming site wasn't that big anyways. At worst she might not be able to find her way, but she wouldn't get utterly lost.
Hearing this, Pei Chiyao just gave a cold laugh instead, "Getting lost might not happen, but I'm afraid someone might kidnap and sell you off."
