Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Jiang Lingxi: Your Sister Is Very Impressive

Lu Zhengzheng was packing her luggage in the room while Su Cheng volunteered to accompany Shen Huchen out.

"Mr. Shen..."

"Don’t call me that," Shen Huchen quickly interrupted him. "We are probably around the same age, just call me Huchen."

In the Shen Family, whenever someone mentioned Mr. Shen, everyone thought of only one person.

He dared not bear that title.

"Then, Huchen, thank you for your help along the way. Otherwise, my sister and I would probably still be walking under the scorching sun on our way to the hotel, not knowing how to use even the elevator." Su Cheng scratched his head, his face losing its usual playful grin, and the seriousness in his words was evident. "In short, I am very grateful."

"Although I know as a young master like you probably doesn’t need my help, I, Su Cheng, still have to promise that as long as I’m in the Imperial City, if you ever need my help, I will definitely... definitely..."

"Step up without hesitation?"

"Yes, that’s the phrase."

Shen Huchen looked at the young man in front of him wearing clothes that no longer fit well. Throughout the journey, he could feel how the siblings were trying hard to suppress their nervousness and embarrassment, striving to behave gracefully and decently.

In his eyes, they were a pair of very diligent siblings.

So, even though he felt it was unnecessary, he still nodded solemnly and replied, "Okay."

Su Cheng smiled with relief.

Su Yi sat on the soft, clean carpet in the room and unzipped the woven bag.

Besides neatly folded clothes, there were also two rolled-up blankets, which could be spread out or used as covers. There was even a small iron pot for boiling water and cooking, with dried noodles and canned pickles in the lunch box. At the bottom of the bag were two folding stools, with everything needed for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, thoroughly prepared.

But at this moment, looking at these things they had brought along, many of them seemed unnecessary.

The soft sofa could replace the folding stools, and the big bed with plush bedding could replace the blankets. The small iron pot might be useful, but she wouldn’t dare start a fire in such a pristine room.

In the end, she only took out a few pieces of clothing and some edible food from the woven bag.

After dragging the woven bag to the corner of the wall, the door behind her clicked open, "Sis."

Su Yi turned her head, beckoning Su Cheng over and pointing to the dried noodles and pickles she had just placed on the table. "I just checked; they haven’t spoiled. We’re running out of time, so let’s eat these to fill our stomachs a bit."

Su Cheng washed his hands, took a bite of a piece of dried noodle, and after swallowing, couldn’t help glancing at the bottled water on the table, craning his neck, "Sis, can this water be drunk?"

"I don’t know."

"Then let’s not drink it, just in case it costs money." He said, picking up a teacup beside the bottle, went to the sink, and filled it with water before gulping it down.

But when Su Yi was also about to get a cup to fetch water, he stopped her, "Sis, you drink this. I’m used to drinking cold water; my stomach is strong. What if you get diarrhea from drinking it? We can’t let drinking water delay the filming!"

Su Yi looked at the bottled water her brother handed over, gritted her teeth, and unscrewed the cap.

The siblings sat at the table and ate the dried noodles with pickles until they were half full, then each took clean clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Su Cheng specifically changed into black pants and a white short-sleeved shirt, which was one of the least worn and newest-looking outfits among his limited clothes.

The key was not to embarrass his sister.

Su Yi also put on a dress she had made herself, using fabric she bought. It was usually kept at the bottom of her chest and only worn during holidays. Before this trip, she had taken it out from the bottom of the chest and packed it in the woven bag.

Once her hair was about eighty percent dry, she braided it into a low braid.

After looking in the mirror at the time, the siblings hurriedly left the room.

"Sure, you don’t need me to tag along?"

Jiang Lingxi firmly shook her head at Tong Yue, "It’s not a formal recording. This time, it’s just a meeting to discuss the program process; it’s really unnecessary."

"Alright then," Tong Yue had no choice but to nod. "If you run into Jing Huai..."

"In public, keep up appearances."

Tong Yue: "..." She waved her hand, "That’s all, go ahead."

Jiang Lingxi walked out of the room, followed closely by Xu Ling’an and Lu Zhengzheng.

The three of them walked through the corridor to the elevator.

Noticing someone approaching, Lu Zhengzheng instinctively shifted slightly to prevent anyone from intentionally getting close.

Seeing this, Xu Ling’an imitated her action and only after turned to see who was approaching.

Seeing them, he couldn’t help but let out a soft "Oh."

"Hey, it’s you guys." Su Cheng, afraid of being late, initially thought of squeezing past with Su Yi to be the first on the elevator when it arrived. But he paused upon recognizing the people in front of him.

Seeing him standing politely about a meter away, Xu Ling’an nodded lightly in response.

They took the elevator down to the first floor and walked out of the hotel.

Raising their heads, they could see the tall building across the street, with the large characters "Imperial City TV" prominently displayed on the building.

As they crossed the street together and saw the other party heading in the same direction, Su Cheng couldn’t help but probe, "You guys, are you also going to the Imperial City TV station?"

He wasn’t addressing Jiang Lingxi, who was leading in the front, but rather Xu Ling’an, who seemed more approachable.

Xu Ling’an glanced at his sister walking ahead and politely hummed in response.

Su Cheng’s eyes instantly lit up, and he proudly said, "My sister and I are here specifically to participate in the ’Inheritance’ program. Have you heard of it? This episode is about the Calligraphy and Painting Chapter. Out of hundreds of people, only six spots are chosen, and my sister is one of them."

His boast was so quick that Su Yi couldn’t stop him in time.

By the time he finished speaking, there were already two red blushes on Su Yi’s face.

Listening to the boy’s voice full of pride, Jiang Lingxi, who had been walking without looking sideways, turned to look at the siblings, focusing on the girl with a flushed face.

The girl had changed into a light blue dress, with simple white embroidery at the hem and waist, and her hair had been simply tidied up, no longer resembling the previous dusty image.

The boy beside her had also changed clothes, looking much cleaner and fresher. It was clear he had a personality opposite to his sister’s, as proven just now.

But her most vivid memory was still of the enormous woven bag.

"Very impressive."

She earnestly responded.

In learning calligraphy and painting, whether in her ancient past life or in this current modern setting, she noticed one commonality.

That is, those who learn these arts usually come from either a scholarly family or a wealthy background.

Families without such means sending their children specifically to learn calligraphy or painting were few, as the expenses for hiring famous teachers or buying the necessary tools and materials required substantial financial support.

Clearly, the siblings’ family wasn’t well-off, yet the sister could still stand out among hundreds of works, which she found genuinely impressive.

Su Cheng immediately grinned and squinted his eyes, feeling this compliment carried significant weight, almost on par with what Mr. Jian, who taught his sister painting and calligraphy, had said.

Su Yi, too, managed her nervousness, her face flushed as she softly replied, "Thank you."

As they spoke, they found themselves at the entrance hall of the Imperial City TV station building when a black business vehicle suddenly drove up from a sloped side ramp, stopping in front of the building before them.

Jiang Lingxi pulled the still-responding Su Cheng back, and the next second, the car door in front of them opened from inside, with a voice emerging from the car, "Huai, wake up, we’re here."
