Chapter 82. So close.

At first, Gong Maye was surprised. Although they were not very close, after all, they lived together, it was easy to run into each other. But these days Sheng Yeting avoided her like he really did not want to see her.

After knowing this, Gong Maye was feeling relieved rather than feeling lost. After all, this might be the best for the two of them.

But, the unhappy feeling in her heart, how could she explain that?

Monday morning, Gong Maye arrived work early to make herself busy, leaving all the disturbing feelings behind.

Just at this time, a phone call came in, it was from the magazine "The Most Pleasant". Gong Maye was surprised because she did not remember she had cooperated with this magazine before.

Still, she picked up the phone politely. Judging from the voice on the phone, it seemed to be a very sophisticated, middle-aged man.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Gong? I am in charge of the magazine 'The Most Pleasant'. We are hoping that Gu Xingxi could be the cover of our next issue. Would there be a problem with his schedule?"

Gong Maye recalled she knew of "The Most Pleasant", it was a magazine dedicated to gourmets, belonged to a high end publishing company. It had a reputation in its circle. Considering Gu Xingxi's popularity, it was great to receive an offer from such a magazine. Hence, Gong Maye said: "It would be his honor."

"Ok, then we will start shooting tomorrow. Is that okay with you, Miss Gong? We will inform you of the specific time." The person in charge over the phone seemed to be a straight shooter too.

Gong Maye agreed and hung up the phone. She began to work out the schedule for Gu Xingxi.

At present, along with the publicity, Gu Xingxi's workload was gradually increasing. In addition to shooting "Love Through Time 2" and this magazine, there also had been several other suitable opportunities.

The way it went, she would get busy too and would not be able to do all the work by herself. She decided to hire an assistant to help her deal with the trivial stuff for Gu Xingxi.

After all, with Gu Xingxi getting busier in the future, she would not be able to take care of everything. Thinking of this Gong Maye began to post recruitments online. She believed that in a few days, there would be applicants.

And with the vision and the experiences Gong Maye had accumulated over years of work, she predicted that Gu Xingxi would become very famous in the future, it was only a matter of time.

After finishing these things, it was noon already. As Gong Maye was about to go out for lunch, Gu Xingxi suddenly came in.

Gong Maye was slightly surprised. She especially gave Gu Xingxi the forenoons off these days so that he could spend more time with Yaoxi. So Gong Maye asked: "What are you doing here so early?"

"Yaoxi is recovering quite well. In a few days, 'Love Through Time 2' will begin filming. I don't want to fall behind." Saying that, Gu Xingxi walked to Gong Maye's side.

At this point, Gong Maye noticed that Gu Xingxi was carrying a bag.

"What's that?"

Gu Xingxi opened the bag and started to look embarrassed. "I noticed you always went to the cafeteria for lunch. This is… I cooked these at home. Please have some, if you do not mind."

Gong Maye could not help but feel funny, she did not imagine that Gu Xingxi could cook.

In the lunch box, there were two dishes and a bowl of soup which looked very delicious. Gong Maye couldn't help but give a compliment: "I did not see that you can cook so well."

Gu Xingxi looked more embarrassed and mumbled: "No one took care of me and my sister, so I learned how to cook. Please have some while they are still hot."

Gong Maye nodded, carried them to the couch and sat down to eat. She motioned Gu Xingxi: "You seem like you haven't eaten lunch yet. Come over, let's eat together. I can't finish these by myself anyway."

Saying that, Gong Maye took out a pair of chopsticks from the cabinet aside, beckoned Gu Xingxi to come over to eat.

Gu Xingxi didn't stand on ceremony and sat by Gong Maye's side. They all began to eat.

Gong Maye had to say, Gu Xingxi's cooking skill was good, almost at the level of chefs from the restaurants. Thinking of his suffering in his youth, Gong Maye could not help but feel sorry for him.

With Gu Xingxi here, Gong Maye told him about the photoshoot with "The Most Pleasant" magazine during lunch.

Facing his busy schedule, Gu Xingxi was obviously flattered and unprepared. An unconfident look flashed on his face, although it was gone in a second, Gong Maye captured it quickly.

They were about to finish eating, Gong Maye put down her chopsticks and began to console Gu Xingxi: "You should always remember, you are a star. You have a lot of good qualities that no one else has. So no matter what kind of bullying and treatment you had been getting, it will never happen again. You will be a big star in the future. So you have to be confident, okay?"

Gu Xingxi quickly nodded. In fact, since he had been with Gong Maye, he was getting a lot better gradually. As he was about to say something, the phone suddenly rang.

Looking at each other, Gong Maye sensed it was a message from the company. She looked at it, as expected, it was a message from the headquarters group.

It said: Everyone belongs to Stardust Entertainment should attend the party at 7 PM tonight. And below was the address, the hall room of the Kaisheng Hotel.

Because it was sudden news, Gu Xingxi did not prepare a suit. Gong Maye sent him home for his suit. She had taken her gown with her to the company, so she decided to go straight to the party from work.

Around 6 o 'clock, Gu Xingxi showed up at work wearing a decent suit. He was here to find Gong Maye.

At that time, Gong Maye had changed into her gown and finished her makeup. She saw Gu Xingxi as she was going out.

The white gown set Gong Maye off like moonlight. Her delicate face with suitable makeup, looked totally natural, without any affectation. Seeing Gong Maye's look, Gu Xingxi was amazed, he was staring at her.

"Come on." Gong Maye smiled and walked out holding Gu Xingxi's arm.

This made Gu Xingxi feel nervous and uncomfortable. After smelling the perfume on Gong Maye and realizing how close to him she was, Gu Xingxi could not help but blush a little.
