Chapter 89 Two Hands

"He got her hands on him! He got her hands on him!" Dilraba exclaimed softly, suppressing her excitement. "The girl took the initiative to touch his hand."

"Yes, it looks very natural," Mao Xiaotong commented objectively, like a researcher analyzing data. "How long has Ah Xian been keeping this from us?"

"This guy kept his relationship a secret from us; we can't let him get away with this."

"If that's the case, could it be that you're still in the pursuit stage?" Dilraba's tone was somewhat speculative. "Aren't guys usually very concerned about their image? They're embarrassed to tell others before they've officially started dating."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible," Su Liu said decisively. "Look at them, they're even holding hands while drinking coffee. They're so intimate, they must have been together for a long time."

"They've been interacting on Weibo for a long time," Dilraba said, scrolling down her phone.

At that moment, Li Xian, who was across the street, abruptly pulled his hand back. Immediately afterward, he saw Zhong Chuxi stand up nimbly and sit down next to him, almost touching his shoulder.

"Damn, these two are pretty sweet together," Su Liu said. "Even if it's a pursuit, it's this girl chasing after our Ah Xian. You see, she's always the one making the moves."

Mao Xiaotong, however, had a different opinion.

"When Ah-Xian pulled his hand back just now, was he shy? If so, we need to re-evaluate the relationship between the two of them."

"How could he be shy? He wouldn't be that embarrassing. If he liked this girl, he would definitely want to hold her hand tightly."

"Then tell me, why did he pull his hand back?"

Su Liu thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution. So she called out, "Reba, you tell me."

Dilraba was engrossed in scrolling through the interactions between Li Xian and Zhong Chuxi on Weibo when she heard this. She looked up abruptly and said matter-of-factly, "Why did you pull your hand back? Maybe it was just for drinking coffee."

"Huh?" Su Liu and Mao Xiaotong were both stunned. Neither of them expected to hear such an ordinary answer. It felt like they had been preparing to expose a shocking conspiracy for a long time, only to be told that it was just to satisfy their physiological needs.

Dilraba was still defending herself, "Yeah, if my hand is grabbed, I can't drink coffee, right? Am I supposed to pick it up with my mouth and drink it?"

""

"Reba, there's a huge flaw in your reasoning."

"What?"

"That is—" Su Liu suddenly put his hands in front of her and shook them vigorously, "We humans have two hands!"

""

"Teacher Su, in an emergency, people sometimes forget they have two hands!"

Eager to prove her theory, Reba insisted on experimenting by grabbing Su Liu's hand. She gripped Su Liu's right hand tightly with both of hers, proclaiming, "Look, if my hand is wrapped around you like this, your first reaction will definitely be to try and get the cup from this hand, not to switch to your left!"

Su Liu was both amused and exasperated by her shaking. Just as she was about to expose this absurd logic, the two in the coffee shop made new progress.

Zhong Chuxi was practically pressed against Li Xian, their noses almost touching, so close it looked like they were about to kiss.

The three people across the street craned their necks to watch this scene, muttering, "Oh my god, is this woman going to force a kiss on Ah Xian?"

"She's amazing," Dilraba exclaimed sincerely, her tone full of admiration. "She has such courage, completely disregarding whether it's in public or not."

The three of them held their breath, staring intently like giraffes. But the expected scene didn't appear; the two men still distanced themselves.

"Cut one"

A chorus of boos erupted under the sycamore tree, filled with regret.

Perhaps because of the awkward moment they had just experienced, Li Xian seemed a little flustered. After a short while, the two of them got up and left the coffee shop.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Su Liu suddenly asked, "Sister Xiaotong, do you think those two will go to a hotel tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaotong's eyes widened, and she punched him hard in the arm. "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long!"

"Hey, in this situation, it's impossible for everyone to go home tonight."

"These two haven't reached that point yet," Mao Xiaotong said. "Either they've only been dating for a short time, or one of them is still pursuing the other."

"I'm not so sure. You can't underestimate a man's talent in this kind of thing."

Are you talking about yourself?

Su Liu quickly coughed twice, instantly changing the subject, "Oh dear, how long have we been watching here?"

People frequently passed by in this alley, and their eyes kept glancing at the suspicious trio. Fortunately, Mao Xiaotong and Dilraba were dressed casually and not wearing makeup, so no one recognized them yet.

Otherwise, if people discover that the owner of Fuxing Culture and his female artists are sneaking around spying on other people's romantic relationships on the street, then things will be very bad.

"It's all because you're so gossipy!"

"You two were really engrossed in watching it just now, weren't you?"

The three of them continued to undermine each other as they turned and walked towards the small building.

The aftermath of this incident occurred two days later, when Li Xian pretended to have finished dealing with miscellaneous tasks at the school and returned to Fusu Culture.

At that time, Su Liu was discussing with Chen Si the establishment of a new talent agency department within Fusu Film & Television, to sign and train new talents.

Chen Si had this idea all along, and she also felt that Fusu Culture currently only had three actors, which was far too few. They couldn't even fully handle their own projects, let alone the fact that the company had invested in Daylight Entertainment and had partners like Shanghai Film Group.

It's time to start building a long-term talent pipeline.

Just then, Li Xian returned. He pushed open the office door, saw Su Liu there, and greeted her.

"Sister Chen, Teacher Su."

"You're here." Chen Si noticed his hesitant expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

"Sister Chen, I'd like to ask if our company signs new employees?"

Chen Si became interested; she had just been discussing this with Su Liu.

"What? Do you have any classmates who want to come here?"

"Yes, she has a management company now, but she says she can handle the contract issues herself."

"Really?" Chen Si pondered for a moment. "Male or female?"

...She's a girl, currently a junior at the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

"Shanghai Theatre Academy? Not Beijing Film Academy?"

Chen Si's question was a bit abrupt, and Li Xian immediately became somewhat hesitant, while Su Liu, who was sitting next to him, almost burst out laughing.

Seeing his guilty look, Chen Si seemed to sense something and frowned. "Li Xian, tell me the truth, what is your relationship with this girl?"

Li Xian sensed a change in Chen Si's attitude and stammered, "Yes... a good friend."

"Just good friends?" Chen Si's tone suddenly became serious, and her eyes were piercing.

"Maybe even better than best friends."

boom!

With a loud bang, Chen Si slammed her hand on the table and stood up. Pointing at Li Xian, she angrily shouted, "Li Xian, it's one thing to not tell the company you're dating, but you even want to sign your girlfriend? Are you out of your mind?!"
