After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1151 - 1147: Face-Slapping

Bi Xia was woken up by the ringing of her phone, her starry eyes half open, gazing drowsily ahead. The ringing went on and on, so loud that Bi Xia felt like her brain was about to explode. She buried her head into the blanket, hoping the sound would fade a little, but who would’ve thought it only seemed louder.She suddenly sat up, grabbed the phone expressionlessly, "Speak."

"..." At the instant Bi Xia’s voice was heard, Xu Renfei’s previously excited mood dampened quickly. She suddenly remembered that her Little Jiu’er seemed to have a serious case of morning grumpiness...

Swallowing her saliva, Xu Renfei let out an awkward laugh, as if she could picture Bi Xia’s sullen face. Instinctively, Xu Renfei wanted to hang up the call, but with Luo Hao next to her pressuring her about today’s task, Xu Renfei steeled herself and said, "Little Jiu’er, time to wake up~ We agreed to shoot the MV today~ The earlier we finish, the earlier we can sleep again, right~~~?"

"..." Now half awake, Bi Xia listlessly scratched her head, voice hoarse and indifferent, "Xu Renfei."

Xu Renfei’s heart skipped a beat, oh no, she’s using full names!!! Mom, come take me away, please! Her heart was frantic like a rabbit bouncing around, yet she kept a bright smile on her face, "Hey, I’m here, Little Jiu’er~"

"...Are you coaxing a child?"

"No~ Be good, get up, okay~~~?"

"Are you coaxing a child?"

With her smile frozen, Xu Renfei twisted the conversation, "No, no, Master needs to get up, breakfast is ready. Shall I come find you to bring it over, or will you come get me and we eat together?"

Bi Xia: ...

The bit of morning grumpiness that woke her up dissipated completely thanks to Xu Renfei, and Bi Xia closed her eyes in resignation, curling back into the blanket, her voice raspy, "What time is it now?"

"Seven-thirty~" Xu Renfei answered cheerfully.

Bi Xia: "...Damn it, Xu Renfei! Isn’t the meetup at nine? Why are you calling me at seven-thirty!"

Xu Renfei shrank her neck, ignoring Luo Hao’s mocking gaze next to her, decided to throw her dignity away, "I’m worried you’d oversleep... Also, it’s not nine for meetup, it’s nine for shooting~~~ We need to leave an hour for makeup, you know~~~"

"No makeup!" Bi Xia refused outright, "Master’s natural beauty is unmatched, do you think I need makeup?"

"No need, no need," Xu Renfei quickly shook her head, mercilessly shifting the blame onto Luo Liu, who was watching, "It’s Brother Six’s fault, insists we wear makeup, not just you, even I have to. Says it’s for the sake of it, even though I told him our Little Jiu’er is naturally gorgeous, doesn’t need it, right~"

Luo Hao: ...never knew Xu Xiaoqi was such an expert at shifting blame.

Hearing Xu Renfei’s obviously fabricated story, Bi Xia was too exhausted to argue. She just wanted to nap a little, the discomfort of being woken still lurking within her. If it’s not calmed down properly, she’ll either suffocate from it or drive Xu Renfei crazy for waking her.

"Feixiaofei."

"Hey~"

"Let me sleep for another twenty minutes, half an hour, until eight, then I’ll come find you, be good, okay?"

Xu Renfei nodded, "Alright~ Little Jiu’er, rest fully..."

Beep beep beep beep—

Xu Renfei: ...

Before Xu Renfei could finish speaking, Bi Xia hung up the phone. She tossed the phone aside and curled herself back into the covers, turned to her side, closed her eyes, and continued her dream journey.

Outside the room, a man stood by the door, hearing Bi Xia’s impatience just now. The thought of going in to wake the young girl vanished. He gently leaned against the wall, holding back his laughter.

How is she so well-behaved while sleeping but has such a big grump when waking up? Forget it, better let Little Jiu awaken herself. With Xu Xiaofei’s case as a precedent, he didn’t dare to crash into her awakening again.

Xu Renfei sighed lightly, placing the phone on the table, "I knew we got up too early, Little Jiu’er definitely hasn’t woken yet. You’ve seen that episode of ’Weekend’ filming, right? An Yi was beaten by Little Jiu’er just for waking her, and fortunately, the director didn’t air the episode, otherwise, An Yi’s incident would escalate even more."

Listening to Xu Renfei’s incessant chatter, her serious expression was as if discussing something incredibly important, while the tone held a brotherly tolerance, making Luo Hao raise an eyebrow. Finally, as Xu Renfei finished her speech, Luo Hao extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray, raised an eyebrow, "If I recall correctly, before the call... I was the one who tried to stop you."

Xu Renfei: ...
