Chapter 428 Snatching the Instant Noodles

Jin Ying flopped onto the sofa, her demeanor as uninhibited as could be, a stark contrast to the pretense of modesty she had displayed on set.

"Song Xi even dragged me to see you earlier, but your bodyguards blocked me at the door."

Ye Tian looked at Song Xi in shock.

Song Xi chuckled at Ye Tian's reaction and explained, "We're friends now."

"What friends!" Jin Ying grabbed Song Xi's water cup and gulped it down. "We're besties now! Real sisters!"

Ye Tian didn't believe a word of it.

In his memory, Song Xi's best friend was supposed to be Ge Baitao.

Besides, Jin Ying had been so detestable before, she had plotted countless schemes behind her back. Wasn't Song Xi afraid this was all just an act?

"What's with your expression?"

Jin Ying felt Ye Tian's gaze was filled with hostility and distrust.

She clicked her tongue and grumbled, "Kid, you'll never understand women's friendships."

"Do you have anything to eat?" She then turned to Song Xi and pouted, rubbing her stomach. "I came straight here after getting off the plane and haven't eaten a thing."

Song Xi said, "I thought you'd be back later."

"I was afraid of missing your talk show debut!"

She reached out to push Ye Tian, but he recoiled as if she were a plague.

Jin Ying was speechless. "I'm not going to eat you. Don't you have any snacks? It'll be boring watching the show without milk tea and potato chips."

"Do you want instant noodles?" Song Xi asked from the kitchen.

"Yes!" Jin Ying replied, then immediately glared at Ye Tian. "What are you standing around for? If we don't have any, go buy some! How can you be so clueless!"

"You!"

Ye Tian was speechless. As expected, people never change. Jin Ying was still the same Jin Ying! Arrogant, overbearing, and self-important!

How could Song Xi be friends with her!

At six in the evening, the show officially began.

Song Xi had finished making the instant noodles, and the aroma made Ye Tian's stomach rumble.

He looked at Song Xi with his watering eyes.

e

"This is the last pack."

"..."

Jin Ying felt the hungry, eager gaze of the person behind her. She swallowed.

Song Xi said, "Instant noodles are fattening. You're a female celebrity, you should eat less."

"You take less," Jin Ying whined, tears welling up. "I've been eating like a rabbit for months in the film crew. Now that filming is done, can't I indulge myself once? Alright, alright, that's enough! Him eating too much isn't good for him either."

Song Xi rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

She never imagined that these two would fight over a bowl of instant noodles one day.

Ye Tian wasn't actually hungry, he just felt a craving from the smell.

His elder brothers forbade him from eating junk food, so he had eaten instant noodles only a handful of times in his life. But perhaps because Song Xi had cooked it herself, he found it incredibly delicious.

The show had started. Seeing Tao Qingyu appear first, Jin Ying's first reaction was to look at Ye Tian.

"Tao Qingyu is doing well. He's appearing first now. Last time I checked, he had millions of followers on Weibo."

She was clearly trying to provoke Ye Tian, and Song Xi glared at her.

"Ye Tian, have you been in contact with Tao Qingyu recently?"

Ye Tian slowly shook his head.

Song Xi didn't know what to say. Former friends were now worlds apart. Only Ye Tian could truly understand what that felt like.

Tao Qingyu performed well, playing it safe. With his immense popularity, he received thunderous applause.

But unfortunately, he left right after his opening remarks.

Jin Ying said, "I've watched a few episodes of this show before. There was a Sister Tian, with short, permed wavy hair, who was a real sharp-tongue. I remember her clearly. Why isn't she here this episode?"

Song Xi's brow furrowed slightly.

"Who is this?"

Jin Ying pointed at Leng Xiaobing and asked, "I don't think I've seen her before."

"Leng Xiaobing," Song Xi replied, her sharp gaze fixed on the woman on screen.

She did look very similar to the person they had encountered in Lou Yuming's hospital room, like they were sisters.

What was their relationship?

"...Hahaha, so everyone told me not to act..."

Leng Xiaobing performed with full confidence. The camera panned over the talk show hosts seated on stage, their expressions utterly blank.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" Jin Ying burst into laughter. "That's so awkward."

Although Ye Tian wasn't particularly interested in talk shows, he knew what was funny and what wasn't.

Hearing this woman on stage rattle off a speech that seemed to mock herself but was actually praising herself, he felt incredibly uncomfortable from head to toe!

Jin Ying, however, was in stitches.

"This Leng Xiaobing, hahahahaha! Did you see that fat guy's expression? I'm dying of laughter. Doesn't she find this embarrassing?"

Song Xi recalled that Leng Xiaobing didn't seem embarrassed at all; she actually seemed quite pleased with her performance.

Next up was Mi Xuan.
