Chapter 33: The Heartless Vixen in the Movie Star's Home

She looked at Song Heqing, whose face still wore a courteous smile. Even after being put through the wringer on the show for so long, he remained dazzling.
Before she had even made it to the back, Song Heqing had already begun counting, leaving Su Tang no choice but to look ahead.
As a result, after the picture was taken, she had no idea where Song Heqing had ended up standing behind her.
While Wen Tian excitedly hurried over to look at the photo, Su Tang turned around and gave Song Heqing an accusing glance.
Song Heqing laughed. “Come on, let’s go take a look too.”
Reluctantly, Su Tang followed behind Song Heqing, dragging her feet as she went to see the picture.
“Ah…” Wen Tian, who was looking at the photo up ahead, suddenly cried out.
Su Tang pursed her lips. That was probably an excited, happy exclamation, right?
“Brother Song… why are you standing over here?” Wen Tian complained bitterly.
“Hm? Let me see the picture.” Pretending not to know what had happened, Song Heqing leaned over to look.
Su Tang hurried forward as well and looked at the photo alongside him.
When she saw the picture, Su Tang froze for a moment before lifting her head to glance at Song Heqing beside her.
Coincidentally, Song Heqing was looking at her too.
She could clearly see the amusement in his eyes, along with her own reflection. Her heartbeat quickened.
Wen Tian came over and pointed at the camera screen in displeasure. “Brother Song, you said you’d stand beside me. Why are you standing over here?” As she spoke, she secretly glared at Su Tang.
Song Heqing smiled helplessly. “Sorry. The counting went too fast, and before I realized what was happening, I was already standing there.”
Wen Tian’s face was filled with dissatisfaction. “Couldn’t you have counted more slowly? How about we take another picture?”
Shen Lu stood to one side with his arms folded across his chest. Upon hearing this, he gave a derisive laugh. “If you want another picture, take it yourself. I don’t have time for this.”
Song Heqing shrugged helplessly. “This picture turned out quite well too. Let’s leave it at that.”
Once the photo was taken, the filming was essentially over. Everyone’s assistants came forward to help remove their microphones.
Over there, Wen Tian clearly had yet to calm down and was looking for excuses to vent her anger on her assistant.
Unlike Wen Tian, who was in a foul mood, Su Tang was in excellent spirits.
She had no assistant, so she tidied up by herself off to the side.
Everyone returned to their rooms and packed their luggage with the help of their assistants, while Su Tang once again had to do everything herself.

The variety show Survival Battle was more or less finished filming that day, but she had not received a single message from her manager.
She had not seen her manager outside while they were taking the picture either.
Her manager had only stayed for one day at the beginning of the show before leaving. Since he had not come back, it seemed she would have to find her own way home.
Lost in thought, she had nearly finished packing her luggage.
At some point, Shen Lu arrived at Su Tang’s room. Her door was open, so he walked straight in.
He knocked on the door and leaned against the frame, watching Su Tang.
Su Tang stood her suitcase upright and turned to look at him. “What is it? Did you need something?”
Perhaps she could ask Shen Lu to give her a ride. After all, the two of them had become fairly close by now, hadn’t they?
Shen Lu looked at Su Tang with a bright smile. “Want to go get something to eat together later?”
Looking at him like this, Su Tang inexplicably thought back to the first time they had met, when he had worn that cocky expression.
“After dinner, could you take me home too?” Su Tang asked helplessly.
“A small matter. Why don’t you just come along in my car?” Shen Lu made as if to help her carry the suitcase.
“Where are you going to eat? Can I come along?” Song Heqing appeared at the doorway and looked at the two of them.
Shen Lu grabbed hold of Su Tang’s suitcase. “Oh, Brother Song, this is a gathering for young people. You don’t need to join us.”
Song Heqing said nothing and simply looked at Su Tang.
Su Tang understood at once. “Oh, come on. Two people eating is still eating, and three people eating is still eating. We may as well bring Brother Song along.”
She had thought this would be a meal between her and Shen Lu, but she had never expected it to be just the two of them.
As luck would have it, Song Heqing had actually taken the initiative to suggest joining them.
Shen Lu was helpless, but since both Su Tang and Song Heqing had put it that way, he could only agree.
Their luggage had already been taken back by their assistants, so the only thing they were carrying now was Su Tang’s suitcase.
When they reached the entrance, they happened to see Chang Qinghua loading luggage. Seeing them, he walked over and asked, “What are you three up to?”
Su Tang pointed at Shen Lu. “Shen Lu is treating us to dinner.”
“Oh?” Chang Qinghua raised an eyebrow at Shen Lu. “Why didn’t you ask me?”
Shen Lu was helpless. Things had already come to this, so one more person was hardly a problem.
“Then, Brother Chang, would you like to come too?”

Chang Qinghua had been waiting for him to say exactly that. He immediately agreed. “Sure.”
Shen Lu opened the trunk of his sports car. He had just been about to put in the suitcase he was holding when Song Heqing stopped him.
“You can fit one suitcase at most in the back of that sports car. There won’t be room for another, and if you put one in the front, no one will be able to sit there. Why don’t we take my car instead?”
Shen Lu took a look and saw that Song Heqing was right. “Then how about…”
He had been about to suggest putting the suitcases in Song Heqing’s car while Su Tang rode with him, but Song Heqing cut him off once again.
“How about we all ride in my car? Your sports car is too conspicuous when you drive it around.”
Su Tang nodded. “Brother Song is right. Your car is far too noticeable. It wouldn’t matter much if paparazzi took pictures, but it would be troublesome if people recognized us while gathering around to watch.”
Shen Lu was just about to say something else when he saw Wen Tian and her assistant coming out of the courtyard.
In the end, Shen Lu could only resign himself to closing the trunk. “All right, then.”
Song Heqing took the suitcase from Su Tang, opened the front passenger door, and said, “Here, go ahead and get in.”
Su Tang sat in the front passenger seat, her heart sweet with happiness. “Sorry to trouble you, Brother Song.”
Song Heqing smiled. “It’s no trouble.”
After closing the passenger door, Song Heqing handed the suitcase Su Tang had been carrying to Shen Lu as well.
“Put these two in the trunk together.”
Shen Lu was unwilling, but Wen Tian was already about to come out. He quickly stowed the suitcases in the trunk and then climbed into the back seat.
Song Heqing had naturally noticed Wen Tian too, but he acted as if he had not seen her at all. The moment Wen Tian was about to leave the courtyard, he started the car.
It was not only Song Heqing and Shen Lu who had noticed Wen Tian. The other two had noticed her as well.
The others said nothing, and Su Tang naturally had no intention of sticking her nose into the matter.
As for Chang Qinghua, he had finally finished filming the show and did not want to get involved with Wen Tian anymore. He was already exhausted enough.
At first, he had thought she was merely a lively and innocent young girl. Later, he discovered that Wen Tian was not simply innocent—she was just plain foolish…
Wen Tian walked out of the courtyard gate while scolding her assistant, only to see that Song Heqing’s car had already driven away.
She looked to the side. Chang Qinghua’s and Shen Lu’s cars were both still there, but neither of them was around.
After thinking it over for a moment, Wen Tian realized that everyone had just been in Song Heqing’s car—everyone except her.
