The recording process went smoothly.
Although it was Song Xi's first time as a host, everyone was very cooperative, especially Jin Ying.
She seemed to have thrown caution to the wind, abandoning her previous ladylike image.
When Song Xi helped her with the camera, she didn't hold back, showcasing her variety show talents in full.
Judging by the continuous laughter from the audience, she indeed had the potential to be a comedic actress.
Song Xi had a premonition that after this episode aired, Jin Ying would gain quite a number of fans.
Jin Ying felt very grateful. Although she had anticipated some fans might unfollow her, this was the most comfortable and burden-free program she had ever participated in.
Ultimately, it was all thanks to Song Xi.
She wanted to treat her to a meal.
"Oh, right," Jin Ying suddenly remembered something and took out her phone. "The video, I'll delete it now."
Song Xi was slightly taken aback. "What video?"
Jin Ying found it a little hard to say, but still replied honestly, "It's from the wrap-up party last time, when your relatives came. I took a video... I was being petty. I'll delete it now."
She hadn't expected this.
Song Xi raised an eyebrow. "It's fine, they won't appear again."
After Jin Ying deleted the video, she said, "Aren't you afraid that when you become famous, they'll come knocking again? Many artists in the industry have been dragged down by their own relatives."
Song Xi smiled, not mentioning that her two aunts and uncles were now in prison.
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Jin Ying thought, that's true, how could *that person* allow such a thing to happen.
"By the way, 'Princess' performed well after it aired. Did you see the data?"
"Forgot..." Song Xi said.
"It was okay," Jin Ying commented. "If Ye Tian hadn't been hospitalized, the crew would have arranged a live stream—"
"You said who was hospitalized?"
Her reaction was so surprised that Jin Ying stammered, "Ye Tian. Didn't you know? The director originally arranged for him and me to do a live promotion for 'Princess' on Weibo, but then they said he was hospitalized before the Lunar New Year and couldn't do it... I thought you knew."
She and Ye Tian were on good terms, so Jin Ying comforted her, "Don't worry, it should be nothing serious."
"Jin Ying," Song Xi suddenly said, "Do you owe me a favor now? Can you go to the hospital to check on Ye Tian for me?"
Jin Ying didn't refuse. "Okay."
Song Xi was a little worried. After Jin Ying left, she called Ye Tian, but he didn't answer. She then tried to contact Tao Qingyu on WeChat, but got no reply.
A knock sounded at the door.
Song Xi composed herself. "Come in."
Lu Chenyu pushed the door open. "Congratulations!"
Song Xi tugged at the corner of her mouth. "Why are you here?"
"Do you have any appointments tonight? Want to have dinner together? Xiao Bin is also coming. He's planning a new variety show for the second half of the year and wants to invite you."
Xiao Bin was the producer of this current show and a good friend of Lu Chenyu.
This was an opportunity. Song Xi said, "What time?"
"Around nine. I'll send you the location then."
"Okay."
Lu Chenyu sensed something was amiss. "Why are you so distracted? Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing."
The phone on the table suddenly rang, reminding Lu Chenyu of something.
"Oh, right. Last time you were recording the show, this number called several times."
Song Xi was shocked. "When was that?"
Lu Chenyu was also confused. "It was when you were recording for the first time. I asked the staff to remind you to call back, didn't they tell you?"
Seeing her stunned reaction, it seemed they hadn't.
Lu Chenyu couldn't help but feel curious. "Who is it?"
