Chapter 60 - An Accident
Ever since that day that Song Xing Xing had returned from Y City, Liu Yu Sheng noticed that her friend seemed a little weird. Although she was working hard as she usually did, Liu Yu Sheng thought that this girl was not as cheerful as she used to be.
Even if she asked, Song Xing Xing would not tell her anything.
After pondering about this matter for a while, Liu Yu Sheng swiveled her chair over and tapped Song Xing Xing on the shoulder. She waited until Song Xing Xing took off her headphone and spoke, "Xing Xing, it's lunch hour. Let's go out and try that new cafe at the mall, alright? It will be my treat."
Song Xing Xing glanced at the watch and nodded. "Alright. But… You're treating me? What's the occasion?"
Liu Yu Sheng laughed. "Just take it that I want you to accompany me to try the food from this new cafe, alright?"
After saving her work on the computer, Song Xing Xing went with Liu Yu Sheng and have lunch together. The two friends continued to chat and eat at the same time.
Liu Yu Sheng ordered some cakes and urged her friend to try them. However, even after eating sweet food, it doesn't seem that Song Xing Xing's mood had not improved.
In the end, Liu Yu Sheng decided not to say anything. Perhaps, in a few days, Song Xing Xing will figure out her matter herself and came back as her usual cheerful self.
Liu Yu Sheng sliced her cake with the cake fork and took a small bite. "Xing Xing, I heard that the casting of drama that Huo Yun Chen will take part in is already finalized."
Song Xing Xing recalled her promise to Huo Yun Chen and was suddenly interested in this matter. "Do you know when will the shooting begin?"
"At this time, Huo Yun Chen is still busy promoting his new album." Liu Yu Sheng said. As a fan, Liu Yu Sheng definitely knew her idol's schedule. "Next week, they will make a press conference to announce the cast. The shooting should begin a week or two after that."
Hearing this news, Song Xing Xing began to wonder what would it be when Huo Yun Chen found out that the two of them have met before. Would he be angry that she had kept her identity a secret?
"I heard that the press conference will be held at The Orchid Hotel," Liu Yu Sheng said. "Xing Xing, do you want to go and look? If we're lucky, we might run into my idol."
Song Xing Xing smiled. "You better forget it. The Orchid Hotel belonged to Zhang Group. The security is very tight. It would be impossible for you to pass the security."
Liu Yu Sheng thought of the situation and finally gave up on this idea. Perhaps it would be better if she stayed home and watch the press conference on the live stream.
The two of them finally leave after Liu Yu Sheng settled the bills. When they exited the mall, it was raining heavily. They quickly get into the car that Liu Yu Sheng had called and instructed the driver to take them back to the studio.
The traffic was slow because of the weather. The mall where they were having their lunch was a little far from the studio.
Song Xing Xing looked out the window and wondered if they would make it in time to reach the studio. After a while, Song Xing Xing decided to take out her phone and texted Producer Ming about their situation.
Just as she was had pressed the enter button, the car stopped with a jolt.
Fortunately, both Song Xing Xing and Liu Yu Sheng were wearing their seatbelts. However, the impact was still a little too strong. For a while, they were both too shocked to figure out what had happened.
Once she finally regained her thoughts, Song Xing Xing looked up and realized that they were involved in an accident.
The driver turned around with his bleeding forehead. He apologized and explained the situation. It seemed that the car at the front had made a sudden stop. The driver did not manage to stop in time and had crushed into their car. After explaining their situation, the driver walked out to deal with the other driver.
Song Xing Xing exchanged a look with Liu Yu Sheng. "What should we do now?"
Liu Yu Sheng peeked out the window and looked at the weather. Looking at the situation, it seemed that they will be stuck at this place for a long time. The driver will not be able to send them back to the studio now.
"Yu Sheng, let's go out and look at the situation." Song Xing Xing suggested.
After Liu Yu Sheng had agreed, Song Xing Xing took out the folded umbrella that she brought with her and the two friends came out together. Song Xing Xing looked at the cars and thought that the condition was really bad.
The driver was seen arguing with another driver, both blaming each other for the accident.
Song Xing Xing looked at this situation and heaved a helpless sigh. Even if they wanted to call for another car, it would be impossible for the car to arrive at their location. Moreover, their accident has made the traffic turned into a crawl.
"Xing Xing, sorry. If I did not insist for you to come with me, we would not be stuck in this traffic."
"It's fine. No one expected for this to happen." Song Xing Xing flashed an assuring smile.
Just as the two of them were discussing what they wanted to do next, they both noticed that someone was standing in front of them.
"Song Xing Xing? Why are you here?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Song Xing Xing lifted the umbrella and looked up. In front of her, Lu Xun stood in his suits and tie, holding a black umbrella in his hand.
The moment their gaze met, Song Xing Xing could not hide her surprise.
