The next day at work, as soon as I walked into the coffee shop, I saw Pei Chenyi sitting at the counter. He was wearing a hat and a mask, wrapping himself up tightly.
I walked over and looked at him curiously. "What's wrong with you?"
Pei Chenyi looked up at me. "I had an allergic reaction on my face."
"Really?" I widened my eyes in disbelief.
"Yes," Pei Chenyi nodded. "When I was on the phone last night, I didn't feel anything unusual, but this morning I woke up to find a lot of rashes on my face."
"So you can't do the live stream today?" I asked.
Pei Chenyi sighed. "No, I can't."
I stared at him, unsure of what to say.
Pei Chenyi looked at me. "You’re not mad at me, are you?"
I sighed again. "It's no use blaming you now."
Pei Chenyi fell silent for a moment. "I'm really sorry; I didn't expect that milk would cause a problem."
"It's fine," I waved my hand dismissively. "I don't have anything going on anyway."
Pei Chenyi looked at me, hesitating to speak.
I glanced at him. "Is there something else?"
"I..." Pei Chenyi hesitated for a moment. "Can I ask you for a favor?"
"What do you need?" I asked, confused.
"Can you help me take a few photos?" Pei Chenyi asked.
"Photos?" I blinked, "What kind of photos?"
"Just..." Pei Chenyi hesitated for a moment, "Photos of me right now."
"..."
I looked at him, "What do you want to do?"
"I..." Pei Chenyi hesitated for a long time, "I want to post them on Weibo."
"..."
I stared at him for a long time, then picked up my phone, opened the camera, and pointed it at his face.
Pei Chenyi instinctively covered his face: "What are you doing?"
"Taking pictures," I said calmly.
"..."
Pei Chenyi hesitated for a moment and slowly lowered his hand.
I took a few photos and then handed the phone to Pei Chenyi.
He took it and examined the pictures closely.
In the photos, he had a face full of rashes, looking quite pitiful.
I couldn't help but frown: "Are you sure you want to post such photos on Weibo?"
"Yeah," Pei Chenyi nodded, "I want my fans to know that their idol isn't perfect."
"..."
I was speechless.
...
After that day, my relationship with Pei Chenyi underwent a subtle change.
Although we were still colleagues, we were no longer as unfamiliar as before.
We often chat, joke around, and sometimes go out together. I found him to be quite a nice person; even though he is a big star, he doesn't act aloof and treats me well. My impression of him has changed a lot; he is not the kind of person who looks down on others.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, six months have passed. During this time, my relationship with Pei Chenyi has improved significantly. Although we haven't defined our relationship as romantic yet, to outsiders, we already seem like a couple.
One afternoon, we were watching a movie together. After the movie ended, we went out to eat. While eating, we talked about his work.
"It seems like you've been doing fewer Live Streams lately," I said.
"Yeah," Pei Chenyi nodded. "I've been quite busy recently."
"Oh," I nodded. "What have you been busy with?"
"Some business collaborations," Pei Chenyi replied.
"Oh."
Pei Chenyi looked at me and asked, "What about you?"
"I'm still the same," I said casually.
Pei Chenyi smiled and said, "You seem to be in a good mood lately."
"Yeah," I nodded. "Because I got promoted."
"You got promoted?" Pei Chenyi exclaimed in surprise. "When did that happen?"
"Last week," I replied with a smile.
"Wow, congratulations!" Pei Chenyi said excitedly.
"Thank you!" I smiled back.
"So..." Pei Chenyi looked at me, "how do you plan to celebrate?"
"I..." I hesitated for a moment, "I haven't thought it through yet."
"..."
