Chapter 1149: 794 Unexpected Joy (5k, asking for monthly votes!)

Luo Li’er just came back this morning.

After a year, she’s a year older, yet her age-defying baby-face hasn’t changed at all.

I wonder if she will still look the same when she reaches her sister’s age.

Of course.

Her sister isn’t that old right now.

"Sis, you played the role so well, foreigners really do seem to make more impressive films!"

Regarding the early morning premiere of "That Patch of Blue," Luo Li’er didn’t skimp on her praise, basking proudly in the reflected glory.

During the movie screening, she saw the audience all around her enthralled by her cousin’s performance; she almost couldn’t help revealing her relationship to her.

"Sis, online reviews are out now, nothing but praise, and I checked the overseas reviews too, just the same. Your movie is destined to be a blockbuster."

While speaking, Luo Li’er kept stuffing nuts into her little mouth.

Her cousin needn’t hope for any.

So every time she came back, she would also buy lots and lots of snacks to fully restock the fridge.

"Once I return to school, I’ll definitely recommend it to the whole class, have them all go watch it."

"You don’t need to boost the box office for me."

Pei Yunxi said with a laugh. She had been busy with this film for most of the year, and now she finally had some leisure time.

"I’m not boosting the box office, good stuff should be shared."

Luo Li’er, this little sister, really had a sense of loyalty.

She handed the nut bag to Pei Yunxi, only to be refused.

"Sis, you’ve lost so much weight for this film, you need to replenish your nutrients."

It was so sweet it was anxiety-inducing.

Pei Yunxi looked at her smiling yet not, without uttering a word.

"Sis, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Did you really watch the movie with your girl classmates yesterday?"

Luo Li’er was puzzled, "Otherwise?"

"Are you in a relationship?"

The blame is on Comrade Jiang Chen for his outspokenness.

Luo Li’er was startled, then immediately said: "Sis, what are you talking about! How could that be! It was my roommate, I’ll call her right now if you don’t believe me!"

Pei Yunxi’s suspicion really can’t be blamed.

She did tend to trust her sister.

"Now that you’re a sophomore, you’re at the age for dating. If there really is a boy you like, don’t hide it from me."

"I really don’t."

Luo Li’er smiled bitterly, knowing that her sister was probably trying to catch her off guard. Holding the nut bag in one hand, she lifted the other, "I can swear!"

"I’m just asking."

"The boys at school are too superficial."

Don’t let her youthful face fool you. Because of her cousin Pei Yunxi, she was much more mature inside than she appeared on the surface.

Otherwise, the seasoned Young Master Luo wouldn’t have been thwarted by her.

"Who isn’t superficial, then?"

"Senior Jiang."

Luo Li’er blurted out almost without thinking, "It’s not that he isn’t superficial, but ever since Senior Jiang graduated, I haven’t come across anyone interesting at school."

Interesting.

That doesn’t seem to be entirely complimentary, does it?

If Jiang Chen were sitting here now, hearing the campus beauty’s comment about himself, it’s hard to say how he would feel.

Pei Yunxi did not comment on her sister’s statement, "What do you want to eat?"

The kitchen in the villa was luxurious, but almost just for show.

She rarely cooked at home, almost always ordering takeout when she was there.

Of course.

The takeout she ordered wasn’t like what most people get; it was delivered specially from high-end restaurants, clean and sanitary.

She didn’t like the feeling of having strangers at home, so she didn’t hire a housekeeper and had regular housecleaning services instead.

"Australian lobster, Shanghai-style fruit-flavored shrimp, steamed blue-spotted grouper, squirrel fish with orange juice..."

Luo Li’er rattled off her list.

She truly knows nothing about thrift.

"Can you finish all that?"

"If I can’t finish, I can eat the rest at night, or keep it for a late-night snack. Sis, you don’t know what life has been like for me all this time you weren’t here!"

Luo Li’er pouted.

Without showing her thoughts, Pei Yunxi started ordering with her phone, playing along, "What kind of life?"

"I can only eat in the university cafeteria!"

Luo Li’er stated boldly.

"What’s wrong with the cafeteria? Aren’t your classmates all eating there too?"

Although Luo Li’er was her sister, she hadn’t been treated to a life too detached from reality.

For example, her living allowance might be a tad more than other students, but not by a significant margin.

"Sis, you should get a decent share of the profits from this movie, right?"

Figures.

No good deed goes unpunished.

If it’s not for selfish gain, it must be ulterior in nature.

"And then?"

Pei Yunxi looked at her.

With an innocent smile, Luo Li’er ventured, "Sis, I’m in my second year now, don’t you think you could... increase my living allowance a bit?"

"Your allowance has what to do with what year you’re in? Is it because East Sea University’s food prices are tied to your grade or something?"

Cornered, Luo Li’er raised her pitch and got straight to the point, "That movie is bound to hit billions in box office; what’s the problem with increasing my allowance a bit? It’s just a drop in the bucket for you."

Pei Yunxi remained calm and impartial, "I’m just an actor, and how much money the movie makes is none of my business; that’s the producer’s concern. Besides, do you know how much was invested in this film?"

Luo Li’er puffed her cheeks, "You’re just stingy!"

"Then tell me, you’re still in school, what do you need so much money for? To eat, drink, and be merry, or to keep up with the Joneses?"

Of course, Pei Yunxi wasn’t short of money, and right now, there probably weren’t many in the entertainment industry wealthier than her.

And she wasn’t being harsh on her sister either.
