"You're back! Finally willing to come back! You're going to miss the bus home soon!" Lu Yuen immediately noticed the dazzling smile on the young girl's face and felt that she was already lost in her joy.
"Quick, come tell us how your goddess is so charming!" Lum Ming opened up a spot beside him, waving at Tongtong.
Tongtong seemed to have her thoughts guessed perfectly; she was eager to share what she had seen and heard. Hearing this, she happily grabbed her bag and ran over to Lum Ming's side, saying, "Yes, yes, yes! I was just about to tell you all about this morning's excitement!"
After putting down her bag and looking around, she noticed that the boss was also present. Everyone was there, which suited her perfectly; she didn't have to find time to share with each person individually.
Hmm~ She felt that the brothers would be very willing to listen to her sharing.
"I have to tell you about the excitement this morning. You wouldn't believe it! The scene was beyond your imagination. I got there pretty early, but by the time I arrived, the airport was already packed with people holding our goddess's exclusive support light sticks and huge banners. You should have seen it; the sight was so spectacular! Our goddess didn’t even take the VIP passage to meet us on time, wearing a sky-blue casual outfit that radiated youthful charm." As she spoke, her hands unconsciously began to express her infatuation.
"Early in the morning, my sister came with a stunning appearance. You guys really don’t know how lucky you are; you’ve never seen her in person. She’s even more enchanting than on screen. Meeting her offline allows you to truly feel her aura. Oh my, I can't describe it; my vocabulary is so limited. It’s like I regret not having enough words when I need them."
Seeing her in such a dreamy state made everyone both amused and exasperated. They thought this girl must have been enchanted by the Goddess Sister. "Tongtong, I never realized you were into idol culture before, let alone that you had idols other than us!" Lum Ming was the first to speak up.
"Oh, I'm not really a crazy fan anymore. I just occasionally watch the dramas she stars in and follow her online. I've hardly ever chased after her offline events. This time is just a coincidence; we’re in the same city and not far apart, so I couldn’t miss this opportunity! Waking up a bit earlier just to see her is totally worth it!"
"You guys haven’t seen those die-hard fans; they’re incredible! They can track every one of her schedules and attend all her events. They even visit the filming locations of her dramas! Not to mention all the products she endorses—they sell out fast! Compared to them, I'm just a trivial little fan of hers. But liking someone doesn’t depend on status; being one of her fans is already a happiness and honor."
As she spoke, admiration sparkled in her eyes.
"How deeply hidden it is! You, Little Girl, actually have someone else you like. I always thought you would be lost in our gentle charm. Knowing the truth makes me so sad." Everyone was already used to Lum Ming's exaggerated heartbroken gestures.
"Next time, next time, Lum Ming brother, you must come with me to chase after sister offline. You will definitely be captivated by her. Then you will truly feel that what I said is not an exaggeration at all; it's all facts."
Tongtong became anxious upon hearing this, fearing they might think she was just a fan with rose-colored glasses. She really wanted to share her idol with those around her.
"Do we have to wait for next time? Aren't we about to collaborate soon?" Da Zuo, who was scrolling through his phone, suddenly spoke up.
"Right! We're going to Lin City this time to record the OST for the drama starring your goddess, collaborating with your goddess." Xu Yan immediately noticed Tongtong's eyes lighting up, as if fireworks were bursting in her black pupils.
So this is how surprise clearly shows in one's eyes.
"Really? Lo Ye brother, is what Xu Yan brother said true?"
She turned her head and looked at Lo Ye with hopeful eyes, nervously swallowing when she didn't get an immediate answer.
Caught off guard by the question, Lo Ye hadn't yet processed what they were talking about. He looked up and saw the little girl staring at him wide-eyed without blinking. After a moment, he recalled the notification he received a few days ago and nodded.
"Oh yeah, it's the most recent collaboration with your idol." The excitement on his face was impossible to hide, not to mention his fidgeting hands and feet.
"Hey, hey, hey! There's even better news! Tongtong probably hasn't eaten yet, right? Your Lum Ming brother specially prepared Spicy Hot Pot for you, extra spicy and numbing!"
Xu Yan watched Lum Ming dash to the dining area and felt speechless. "I'm really amazed by him. Even at this time, he's still thinking about his Spicy Hot Pot?"
The words were directed at Lum Ming, but the eyes were focused on Lo Ye, who was sitting in his seat, barely speaking and constantly looking at his phone. He was also filled with curiosity about how their boss could bring back something so out of place as Spicy Hot Pot; there must have been some interesting story behind it.
Lo Ye, who had been watching the notifications on his phone, noticed the gaze from across the table and raised his eyebrows to see Lum Ming's inquisitive smile.
"Spicy Hot Pot? How could there be Spicy Hot Pot here?" Tongtong said, puzzled, until he spotted the plastic takeout containers on the plate Lum Ming had brought over.
"Tongtong, try a bit. It's still good; we bought it last night."
"Last night?" He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. "Mmm, it's still edible. Where did you buy this? It tastes great!" He had completely forgotten about wanting to know where it came from.
"Well, I just got it from a roadside stall. If you like it, there's more."
"Mmm, this roadside stall's cooking is really authentic."
"Really? If there's more, can you get me a bowl too?" Lu Yuen said, looking at how tempting Tongtong's food looked. The bright red dish floating in oil was simply a blessing for people with their heavy taste preferences.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, they set off for the airport on time, with someone from the dealership driving the car away.
Whether it was due to Tongtong's influence or something else, everyone had a different level of anticipation for this work trip.
