Chapter 58

Originally, when Shen Kai learned that Qin Wei was injured, he should not have cared. However, he had also secretly taken a look at "Sunny Little Star", where the Qin Wei was so different from the one he knew, making him very curious. Not only did he secretly follow "Little Star", but he also stayed up all night to finish "Peach Blossom Spring" at once, only to find that Qin Wei had changed too much.

And this change aroused his interest and made him involuntarily want to know more about her.

As a result, "Little Star" delayed its update, and there was news online that she was injured.

To confirm this would be very simple for him, just needing to say a word.

But he had no standing or reason to ask. This woman had nothing to do with him, so he had no way to speak up.

He should have let it go. This woman was not worth his time or effort.

However, this complex emotion of curiosity mixed with concern had kept him restless for a long time.

Finally, after seeing the show's apology statement, he was sure that she really was injured.

"After all, we've met before. It's not too much to ask if she's okay!"

Shen Kai held his phone, convincing himself.

"Long time no contact. I heard you were injured. Is it serious? Does the wound hurt?"

Too low profile, delete.

"You're injured? Don't you remember what I said before? You have no memory at all."

Too harsh, delete.

"Do you need me to introduce you to the best doctors in China? I'm worried your face will be scarred."

Ugh, why did it feel like gloating no matter how he read it himself? Delete.

"Where are you? I'll come see you right away when I heard you were injured."

Shen Kai pursed his lips and deleted all the words he had typed. He wasn't her lapdog, so why would he go see her?

After struggling for an hour, he finally sent out the edited message:

"Is the injury serious?"

Half an hour passed, and his phone screen hadn't lit up even once.

Still no reply after another hour.

His assistant Xiao Jin was drinking milk tea next to him, but suddenly felt the pressure behind him getting lower and lower, feeling a bit cold and afraid. He turned around and saw Shen Kai holding his phone with both hands, looking resentful.

Xiao Jin silently turned back, instinctively shrinking his neck. What happened to Brother Kai today? It's rare for him to look so resentful...

"Xiao Jin."

Shen Kai called his assistant's name. Xiao Jin swallowed his saliva and responded:

"What's up, Brother Kai?"

Shen Kai still stared at the screen, looking very serious:

"Help me check if the signal is bad here? It seems like my phone can't receive messages."

Xiao Jin didn't dare to delay. He took out his phone to check. The signal was full and so was the WiFi.

"Brother Kai, there is signal and the internet speed is very fast too."

Shen Kai's expression became even more serious, seriousness mixed with some gloom.

Xiao Jin shrank his neck in fright, thinking he had said something wrong.

"Is my phone broken? Send me a WeChat message and let me check."

Shen Kai made the request. Xiao Jin quickly opened WeChat and randomly picked an emoji to send over.

Buzz Buzz---

Shen Kai's phone vibrated.

[Lucky Xiao Jin: [Animated emoji]]

Shen Kai opened it. Xiao Jin had sent him an emoji he had collected---

Cheers to our friendship!

Shen Kai's eyebrows were about to twist together.

There was internet! There was signal! His phone wasn't broken!

That woman Qin Wei didn't have many schedules to take as a faded celebrity. Could she not find the time to reply to his message!?

Xiao Jin felt hopeless. Brother Kai looked angry now, right? Knowing that he usually didn't smile, Xiao Jin shouldn't have sent that silly emoji. As a result he had angered him...

Would he lose this job because of it!?

The pressure was so low Xiao Jin couldn't breathe...

Liu Simin walked in holding a schedule, feeling something was off. When he looked at Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin looked back pitifully at him, as if saying---

"Save me! Save me!! Save me!!"

Liu Simin glanced at Shen Kai again, then said to Xiao Jin:

"Go get the delivery, Xiao Jin."

"Okay, brother!"

After speaking, Xiao Jin jumped up like a spring and ran out in a flash.

"Why'd you scare Xiao Jin like that? You frightened him." Liu Simin sat down next to him, flipping open the schedule,

"Take a look...what are you doing?"

"Nothing."

Shen Kai put away his phone and took the schedule from Liu Simin, but he couldn't read a word with his eyes glued to the screen. He simply threw the schedule back to Liu Simin and lay down on the sofa,

"Just arrange everything! I won't look at it."

Liu Simin also felt Shen Kai's bad mood. He understood why the little assistant looked like he was facing death. Something unpleasant must have happened.

But did something that could upset Shen Kai really exist?

"Lizhi TV is planning a big variety show together with many platforms. It's still in early planning and other companies don't know yet...

You've been interested in variety shows recently, right? I feel like this barely matches you. My initial plan is to have you guest for the finale. That way you'll have presence without taking up too much of your time...

Brother Kai, are you listening to me?"

Shen Kai lay on the sofa, eyes fixed on the screen.

Still no reply! If it was just no reply then fine! But why change the profile picture!?

Qin Wei's original profile pic was a photo of herself, but now it had been changed to a yellow cartoon dog?

What was she trying to say? She had time to change her profile pic but no time to reply to his message. Not only that, she changed it to this kind of picture?

Was she mocking him, saying that he was like a lapdog for taking the initiative to ask about her so long after they broke up?!

For a time, Shen Kai had too many thoughts running through his mind. She had only changed a profile picture, yet he was overanalyzing it from various angles.

Finally he got so angry that he slammed the table!

Bang---

It gave Liu Simin a fright:

"I, you, horse...it's fine, we don't have to go. All the big variety shows in China are waiting for you. You can pick whichever one you want."

"What are you talking about?"

Shen Kai glanced at Liu Simin,

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, so all I said earlier was for nothing?"

Liu Simin felt like laughing from anger, but didn't dare get mad at Shen Kai due to their identities. He could only appease the other party, that was how it had always been.

"I said Lizhi TV is working with video platforms to make a big variety show. Female celebrities who have already debuted in various fields in the entertainment industry and have a certain reputation will debut on stage again. After months of screening and elimination, the top few will form a group. You'll come as a guest for the finale..."

Shen Kai was a bit impatient:

"People who have already debuted will debut again, and they need to be famous too? What kind of nonsense is this? Talk to me about it when the project is finalized. I'm tired right now. I still have night scenes to shoot tonight. You go do your thing. I'm going to sleep."

After speaking, Shen Kai closed his eyes. Liu Simin didn't try to hit a barrel with his head anymore. The show was far from being recorded anyway. They could talk about it again another day when he was in a good mood.

After Liu Simin left, the phone on the table vibrated and the screen lit up.
