Chapter 1293 — The Superstar's Request
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Amazing? Perhaps, but life is always full of regrets like this or that. No matter how capable a person is, there are places his strength cannot reach. None of us are omnipotent!" Wei Zhao shook his head and said with some sadness, "Her illness comes down to a missing medicinal herb, and that herb is very hard to find nowadays..."
"Yes, none of us are omnipotent!" Xu Shilan sighed with feeling as well and nodded. "So that is how it is. Then she really is pitiful..."
"So her ideas are a little odd. Do not mind her. I have seen some of her wishes, and one of them is that if she were a boy she would want to pin you down, and if she were a girl she would want to play at 'that'... which would amount to pinning you down indirectly..." Wei Zhao put in a word for Feng Xiaoxiao, afraid Xu Shilan might misunderstand her. As for himself, he did not care; misunderstood or not, it made no difference to him.
"Huh?" Hearing Wei Zhao's words, Xu Shilan froze for a moment. "So it is like that... Your girlfriend really does think in strange ways..."
"Right? She has known since childhood that she would not live past twenty, so it is only normal that she thinks differently from other people..." Wei Zhao said, "So, Miss Xu, I hope you can spend more time with her. Take it as a request from me."
"That is only natural. No problem at all." Xu Shilan agreed at once. Now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Xu Shilan felt quite sympathetic toward Feng Xiaoxiao!
Before, Xu Shilan had thought herself unlucky enough, having suffered a family tragedy as a child and then developed this headache that could split her skull open at any moment, but compared with Feng Xiaoxiao, none of that counted for anything!
Soon Feng Xiaoxiao had fixed up her appearance and came running out of the dressing room, and Wei Zhao stopped talking at that moment and slipped to one side.
Xu Shilan had her own professional photographer. Xu Shilan spoke to Sister Wang, and Sister Wang brought the photographer over to take a set of photos of her with Feng Xiaoxiao. Because Xu Shilan now knew Feng Xiaoxiao's background, she posed with great patience and seriousness, without the slightest trace of impatience.
"Wow, I never thought I would one day take so many photos together with Xu Shilan! Hubby Wei Zhao, come take one with us?" Feng Xiaoxiao waved excitedly at Wei Zhao.
"I will skip it. You two go ahead. I do not like having my picture taken!" Wei Zhao waved his hand. He had little interest in taking photos with a star.
"Come on, Hubby Wei Zhao, just do it to keep me company!" Feng Xiaoxiao said coquettishly, refusing to take no for an answer.
"All right, then just one!" Wei Zhao gave a wry smile and walked over.
Xu Shilan was seething with rage! I am a huge star! There are plenty of people who want to take a picture with me, and you do not like having your picture taken? Do you think I am willing to pose with you? Humph! If it were not for the fact that you helped me once, and that Feng Xiaoxiao is so pitiful, do you think I am so idle? Keeping you company taking pictures for fun?
But she could only say that in her heart, cursing Wei Zhao a thousand times over inwardly, without being able to say a word of it aloud.
Wei Zhao stood beside Feng Xiaoxiao, but put Feng Xiaoxiao in the middle of the photo, and Xu Shilan grew even more annoyed. Usually when she took pictures with other people, was she not always placed in the middle, with the others standing on either side? Now it was completely reversed, and she had become the mere backdrop!
So in this photo, Xu Shilan did not smile, pouting with pursed lips as she finished the shot with a look of grievance, like someone who had swallowed her anger.
