After meeting Bai Jingye, Tian Ruyi had been thinking of confessing to Si Hongqi lately but her schedule gave her that opportunity. Ever since she decided to enter the entertainment world after being a social media goddess, she was planning to join a reality group survival show to form a 5 members girl group.

Instead of taking the acting route, she wanted to try being an idol since aside from her love for books, she had loved dancing and singing. She already had multiple covers on Vtube. She would do those covers whenever she couldn't do a travel blog because of her tight schedule. Aside from that, creating video content and editing was never an easy thing to do.

It was already late at night but she couldn't blink a sleep at all. She was staring at Si Hongqi's name in her contact list.historical

The reality show was scheduled months away so she has enough time to finish the shooting for the movie she was going to partake in. Dating was never a good thing when it came to Idols. It was stricter and different than being in the acting department. That was one of the reasons why she was planning to join the show.. If she became a member of the 5-members girl group, it would mean that she had to avoid being in a relationship.

"Alright. If he likes me, I'm going to continue with the acting path but if he rejects me then I'm going to become an idol!" She cheered herself up. It was still going to be a win-win situation for her when it came to choosing a career path.

Just when she was about to tap 'call' on her phone's screen, the screen switched into someone else's caller ID, and her ringtone was heard. Tian Ruyi accidentally tapped the answer button so even if the call was from an unknown number, she didn't have a choice but to speak to the person on the other line.

"Hello?"

"It's been a while, Ms. Tian." A man's smoky voice was heard from the other line.

A crease formed between her brows. She felt like she heard this voice from somewhere else but she couldn't remember where. "Who's this?"

"Ah-ah, how can you forget me so fast? I'm rather hurt, Ms. Tian. We just met the other day."

It was then that Tian Ruyi suddenly recalled the incident that happened in Bai Keran's place. The man was none other than Si Guanlin!

"H-how did you get my phone number?" She nervously asked. He didn't find him creepy at first but this time, she did.

"You don't have to know. These days, it's easy to get someone's number as long as you approach the right person, don't you think so?" He chuckled. He sounded like he was rather enjoying having a conversation with her. "I'm surprised to learn you are still awake."

"Oh wow, you know what time it is," she retorted. "So I believe you should also know that it's not proper to call someone at this hour of the night, right?"

He chuckled lightly. "Sorry about that, I didn't notice the time."

She bit her lower lip. He didn't sound so sorry at all. This time, her guards were up against Si Guanlin. She was not having a good impression of him right now. "What do you want? Why did you call me?"

"Oh come on, don't be so stingy. I was waiting for you to call me, you know. Have you forgotten? You said that you wanted to repay me for saving you."

She sat up from her bed and stared at a random object in her room as she recalled her promise after they arrived at her place. She did want to repay him but he told her that he would think about it before he left.

Tian Ruyi almost forgot about the promise she made to him. She sighed heavily. "I apologize for being rude.."

"It's fine, it's fine, I don't mind it at all." His voice was really fruity and rather pleasant to her ear. If he became a voice actor, a lot of women would have fallen for his voice already. "Anyway, I want to have a date with you on one of these days."

"D-Date?" She was taken aback by the words he said.

"Yes. I want to have a 3 days date with you."

Her nose wrinkled. "3 days?"

He chuckled softly. "I want 3 days from you."

"That's impossible. I'm busy." She instantly declined him. There was no way she was going to want to spend 3 days with him even if she had the time.

"Eh? But according to your schedule, you should have a week break from the movie you're shooting."

"..." Once again, Tian Ruyi was caught off-guard. How the hell did he know her schedule?

"Well?"

She scoffed. "Mr. Si, as much as I appreciate your assistance, I believe the method by which you are gathering information on me is more like that of a stalker, don't you think?"

The other line became quiet for a second before he burst out laughing.

Even if it kind of annoyed her, Tian Ruyi couldn't help but like how his laugh sounded. His phone voice was really like honey in her ears. She would love to listen to it the whole day but sadly, the owner of the voice was not likable at all. He was annoying her. "I'm not joking."

"Oh, sorry." He chuckled under his breath. "I apologize if I came out creepy to you right now."

"Good you know," she replied, matter-of-fact.

He cleared his throat to regain his composure. "I don't mean any harm to you, Ms. Tian. I just want to be friends with you."

"Sorry, I don't like being friends with an eerie and insolent person like you but thanks for saving my life. I'll repay you by remembering your heroic deeds for the rest of my life."

Before he could even say a word, Tian Ruyi quickly ended the call and blocked the number. There was no way she was going to mingle with that kind of man. He was befriending her the wrong way!
