Upon hearing Gu Zhengming’s words, everyone’s eyes fell on him. Su Yebai chuckled lazily. "Zhengming, how do you know... Tong Xi doesn’t like eating carrots?" Gu Zhengming gazed at Tong Xi’s face, about to speak, but Tong Xi beat him to it and said, "Director, actually I’ve known him for a long time. When we were kids, his grandma’s house and my grandma’s house were neighbors! So, I’ve known him ever since!" Tong Xi’s words made it clear that their relationship... was simply limited to being neighbors, that’s all. After hearing this, Su Yebai gave Gu Zhengming a deep look, "Is that really how it is?" Gu Zhengming’s expression darkened slightly, but he nodded. "Uh-huh, that’s how it is?" Su Yebai laughed again, "Well, well, it seems you were indeed good neighbors, childhood sweethearts! Look how thoughtful Zhengming is!" Saying this, Su Yebai turned his gaze to Yunqing. "Oh dear, and to think you play Mu Qingli’s other half in the drama. Tsk tsk, what, you don’t even know your wife doesn’t like carrots?" Su Yebai’s words were gentle, but Yunqing understood all too well that this was Yebai’s way of reminding him. However, the term "childhood sweethearts" truly felt like a sword piercing Yunqing’s heart. Damn, is Uncle Yebai doing this on purpose? Yunqing turned and glanced at Tong Xi, asking with a playful smile, "Do you really not like carrots?" Tong Xi glanced at Yunqing, then at Su Yebai, and finally, her gaze landed on Gu Zhengming’s face. "Actually, when I was a kid, I didn’t like carrots; I thought they tasted weird. My mom always said I was too picky. But you know, as people grow up, their taste buds change. Later, I slowly started to like carrots because they’re very nutritious and even called ’little ginseng.’ If I still didn’t eat such a delicious thing, wouldn’t it be a waste of nature’s gift?" With that, Tong Xi ate the carrots that Yunqing had served her. "Hmm, Director Su, it really is as you said, very tasty!" Su Yebai burst into laughter, "Come on, everyone, have a taste!" Yunqing kept his eyes on Tong Xi’s face, watching her eat the carrot with a smile, as if it were the most delicious food in the world. He couldn’t help but frown.

People grow up, and their tastes change over time... On the surface, she’s talking about liking carrots, but in reality, she might be talking about her feelings for him! Is she really moving on, wanting to completely forget about him? And Zi Xun, sitting next to Tong Xi, watching the silent duel between Gu Zhengming and Yunqing, seemed to sense something too. So, Gu Zhengming and Tong Xi do know each other, and from a young age. Gu Zhengming even knows that Tong Xi doesn’t like carrots... But looking at Tong Xi’s attitude toward Gu Zhengming, it’s so distant... Haha, now this is interesting! So Zi Xun chuckled and asked, "Tong Xi, you must have been really close with Gu Zhengming when you were kids! Being childhood friends with a superstar must make a lot of people jealous! Why did you keep it so secret?" Tong Xi caught onto the underlying hostility in Zi Xun’s words, smiled lightly, and said, "Sometimes, people need to be self-aware. He’s a big star, any little thing can be written about. I know my own worth, nothing more than childhood neighbors. If I tried to gain fame off a star, wouldn’t I be drowned in the fans’ verbal attacks?"
