Chapter 93 Reminder? What does that have to do with Li Shuo?!
Riding in Fan Xiaoxuan's commuter car, we drove through the Taipei night and stopped on Xinyi Road.
She opened the car door and asked her assistant and driver to find a place to eat something.
Then he turned back to Li Shuo and gestured, "We've arrived, get out of the car."
Li Shuo followed her into a shop with a sign that read "Taihe Hall," and the aroma of spicy hot pot immediately wafted over them.
He surveyed the layout of the restaurant. There were no open seating areas; all the rooms were private booths with wooden screens and warm lighting, offering excellent privacy.
The walls on both sides of the corridor are covered with photos of celebrities, including Aaron Kwok, Carina Lau, and many other Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.
"This restaurant only has private rooms, which offer good privacy, and most importantly, the food is delicious."
Fan Xiaoxuan felt like she was on her own turf.
"I came because I was craving it."
Seeing her effortlessly push open the door to a private room, she turned back and waved to Li Shuo, "Come in, what are you standing there for?"
Recently, due to her transformation with her new album "Darling", the market response has been lukewarm, and her fan base has dropped to half of the expected sales. She has not had much of an appetite or the mood to come out.
But today, while recording a schedule, I met this young man named Li Shuo, and listening to his songs, I felt he understood her.
Fan Xiaoxuan had a long-lost appetite and even thought about eating her favorite spicy hot pot.
She doesn't know what she was thinking, but she brought the boy she had only known for less than a day to the place where she usually met up with her "girls".
Li Shuo sat down opposite her, and just as he sat down, his phone rang.
He thought it was Zhou Jianhui reminding him that another phone call was coming.
He picked it up, paused slightly, then answered the call and asked softly, "Sister Yan Zi, why are you still up so late?"
Fan Xiaoxuan was looking down at the menu when her ears involuntarily perked up.
On the other end of the phone, Sun Yanzi's soft voice came through: "I'm looking at the songs from your first album that the Warner team compiled. I'm quite happy. By the way, it's almost vacation time, will you have time to come back to Singapore?"
Li Shuo thought about it and felt somewhat helpless.
"You know, Jianhui is eager for me to debut with his help... I won't be going to Singapore for now. Also, Sister Yanzi, there's no rush with so many songs... just take your time!"
"Yes, you have to stay in Taiwan, China..."
Sun Yanzi was initially a little disappointed about what she cared about most, but then she remembered that Li Shuo should have just finished his debut announcement.
"You finished recording your show today? It must have been tiring... I'm sorry, I just really love these songs, and I suddenly missed you... Oh, I mean, I wanted to thank you... Anyway, get some rest!"
The phone rang inexplicably and then hung up inexplicably.
Before Li Shuo could say anything, he could only shake his head and put away his phone.
"girlfriend?"
Fan Xiaoxuan asked the question seemingly casually, but after the words left her mouth, she felt inexplicably anxious for the answer she wanted.
"no"
Li Shuo explained.
"She was a classmate at the Singapore Conservatory of Music and a new artist who was signed by Warner Music. I wrote some songs for her."
"Is she also an older woman?"
Fan Xiaoxuan felt a sudden sense of relief and blurted out, "How about competing with me!?"
Li Shuo was stunned for a moment?
Miss, is your thinking really that jumpy?
He thought for a moment and said seriously, "You're a very amazing older sister... I think you, like Sister Xiaoxuan, will influence an era of Chinese pop music."
That's a suitable answer.
After all, Fan Xiaoxuan had just appeared on the Chinese Spring Festival Gala, and putting aside the matter of her career transition, she had already become a "national daughter" in popularity.
"Such a high evaluation...?" Fan Xiaoxuan suddenly became curious after hearing him say that.
Li Shuo looks very appealing. What is that girl from Singapore like?
The waiter pushed the door open, brought in the hot pot base, and then left.
The private room fell silent for a moment, filled only with the rich, spicy aroma of butter mixed with Chinese herbal seasonings, and the pot simmering gently over a low flame.
Fan Xiaoxuan rested her chin on her hand, stared at Li Shuo for a while, and then suddenly smiled adorably.
"I really like your songs... the improvisational part, and your song 'Darwin,' and the jazz piece 'I Want Us to Be Together' that you auditioned for."
Her eyes curved into crescents, swaying gracefully.
"Okay, let's order!"
Then, holding the menu, he got up and sat down next to Li Shuo.
The distance suddenly closed, and a faint, almost imperceptible, womanly fragrance mingled with the aroma of the spicy hot pot.
"This is our signature marbled beef!"
She pointed at the menu, her pretty face leaning closer.
"And this too, their braised pork intestines, handmade Sichuan-style meatballs, and fried dough sticks are their signature dishes!"
Li Shuo smelled Fan Xiaoxuan, who was very close to him. The warm and moist fragrance that even the smell of spicy hot pot couldn't mask wafted into his nose, and it was still warm.
So this is what "Little Witch" tastes like....
"Didn't we order too much?"
Li Shuo watched as she continued.
Fan Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes at him.
"You think it's just the two of us? I invited my girlfriends over to make sure I did what I promised you. I'm going to have to 'bleed' today."
She continued ordering.
Li Shuo looked at her profile... Is her execution ability that strong?
But why would he need you to go to all that trouble to find resources? When Fan Xiaoxuan first brought up Zhou Jianhui, it was just a polite greeting.
Li Shuo agreed to eat together simply because he wanted to spend some time with this young lady whose image and impression he quite liked.
To be honest... thinking about Fan Xiaoxuan's current, still unformed "Seven Fairy Sisters" group... except for one, I really don't want to know any of the others....
Under the warm yellow light, her skin was so white and translucent, and her eyelashes were so long.
Even though she's already cut her hair short and lost her former cute style, the way she's seriously ordering food right now has an indescribable charm.
"Did you write a lot of songs for your Singaporean classmate?" Fan Xiaoxuan suddenly turned her head and asked at close range.
Li Shuo was speechless... Sister, wasn't that a sneak attack?!
I'm organizing my thoughts, trying to figure out how to answer.
The door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
"Hey sis! You finished filming so early today? We're even having hot pot together, you wouldn't come the other day when I asked you to...!"
Barbie Hsu burst in, followed by Dee Hsu and Aya.
"But we just finished work, we're starving...wait, what?!"
The private room was bathed in warm yellow light, and in the middle of the table, a pot of red soup was boiling, with wisps of white smoke rising from it.
Through the mist, a handsome young man, barely visible, sits next to Fan Xiaoxuan, Fan's best friend?!
Barbie Hsu's gaze fell on Li Shuo and stopped.
Little S and Aya were also stunned.
Especially Little S, looking at that face, suddenly felt her cheeks burning.
"Excuse me... sis, I'm in a bit of a hurry...?" she said, then ran out, heading straight for the restroom.
On the way, she was still thinking, "Sister Xuanxuan has always been quiet and never brings a male companion, so why did she suddenly bring such a handsome guy?"
I felt that inexplicable burning sensation in my lower abdomen spread to between my legs.
She couldn't help but recall... the only time she had ever felt this way about a guy was when he came to record a show... Takeshi Kaneshiro!
After this little incident passed, Fan Xiaoxuan stood up and introduced: "The newcomer I met on the show is named Li Shuo."
She added, "Not only is she incredibly beautiful, but she's also very musically talented. Let's chat about music, and I also have something to ask you ladies, so let's get together!"
Li Shuo was also a little confused at this moment!
The person who died in his previous life could still occasionally see some follow-up news before his rebirth, but now he is alive and well in front of him, and is even looking him over.
Honestly, it's a little creepy...
"Talented?"
Barbie Hsu looked at Li Shuo curiously, her gaze sweeping over his face.
Li Shuo composed himself, stood up, and greeted them.
Aya took one look and exclaimed, "Wow!"
Wow, that's tall! He must be over 1.8 meters tall, right?
Barbie Hsu suddenly asked Mavis Fan in a joking tone, "Wow~ Sister? This is amazing! ...You finally figured it out? This is a 'little wolf dog'!"
"Don't talk nonsense, sister!!" Fan Xiaoxuan was both amused and exasperated!
"She's a newcomer that Warner Music is heavily promoting, and Chairman Zhou Jianhui personally mentors her as she goes around doing promotional appearances."
Little S returned at this time, looking like she had touched up her makeup, but her hair was still wet and dripping water. Did she wash her face and then touch up her makeup?
Seeing her pull out a chair and sit down on her own, she gave Li Shuo a somewhat reserved and embarrassed smile, then pulled Aya over and whispered to her what she had said after she left.
The soup in the pot boiled, and the duck blood and tofu tumbled in the red broth.
The table was laden with a variety of dishes.
Everyone started eating.
Fan Xiaoxuan called out, picked up the serving chopsticks, and put the meat into the pot.
Barbie Hsu's gaze swept between Li Shuo and Fan Xiaoxuan a few times, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Little S glanced at Li Shuo furtively, then quickly looked away, picking up a piece of meat and pretending to eat it intently.
Aya had just sat down when she took out the fruit she had brought and started eating.
"Aya, make me a dipping sauce, you know what I like," Little S said.
"Okay." Aya stood up.
"Aya, could you also bring me some minced garlic?" Barbie Hsu added.
"No problem." Aya had already walked out.
Fan Xiaoxuan couldn't help but speak up: "Hey, you guys are really something, Aya is a vegetarian... I deliberately didn't invite her..."
"It's alright, it's alright!" Aya's voice came from outside the door. "It'll be quick!"
At this moment, they are being bossed around like madmen, yet they seem to enjoy it immensely.
Li Shuo watched this scene unfold.
It turns out that the rumors about Barbie Hsu and Dee Hsu being "bossy" towards Aya in this group of girlfriends are true.
Sigh... Seeing the notification in his mind that there were female celebrities he could be linked with... he had no interest at all.
…I'm having a bit of an upset stomach.
Fan Xiaoxuan noticed that his mood had suddenly dropped, and assumed that he was tired from recording the show.
I put down my chopsticks, just about to talk about "Guess Guess Guess" and "Entertainment."
Barbie Hsu (Da S) spoke up first: "Hey, you guys know what? I met that group from the peninsula while recording a show today, they were so handsome! Especially Koo Kyun-yi."
"That bald guy?" Aya had just returned with a bowl of minced garlic.
"What bald head...! That's just their image design! Cool! It's really cool...!"
Barbie Hsu first frowned, then started beaming with joy.
"Wow, his stage presence, his physique and muscles—I was standing next to him recording the interview, and my heart was pounding!"
Little S rolled her eyes: "Sis, that's enough, they don't understand Chinese anyway."
"We can still communicate! When I was doing an interview, I invited him to my house, and I even asked him if he wanted to marry me. He looked so cute when he was shy!"
Li Shuo listened.
Don't rush... You'll be dating soon... But as for marriage, on the surface, we'll have to wait... about twenty years for Chen, Yan, Zhou, and Wang.
As for what kind of reminder?
Let's not talk about those strange words and actions in the future...
…Anyway, this guy who can't even sit properly…what does it have to do with Li Shuo!
