After stealing a glance, Xiao Ning noticed that Bai Puti seemed to have let go of his worries, and his expression was becoming increasingly calm. Suddenly, Xiao Ning felt bored.

Did you even feel a little uncomfortable?

Isn't she angry?

Uh… you’re a bit conflicted…

"Why is Actress Yu wearing a hat?" the blonde man asked to himself.

"I'm undergoing chemotherapy, and my wig isn't on properly," the sleazy woman replied curtly, then walked past her downstairs.

"Huh?" The blond guy was clearly taken aback. Just as he was about to ask something else, he heard Bai Puti's indifferent voice: "Excuse me."

"oh……"

When she got downstairs, Yu Jianing was still leaning against the main seat of the sofa, as if she had no bones.

Two long, black snake-like legs were intertwined, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

Ti Zi's eyes deepened, and she quickly walked over and covered her legs with the blanket.

"Walking so slowly, I thought you weren't coming~" The sleazy woman rubbed her nails.

Covering her legs with the other side of the blanket eased the discomfort.

“Something… is blocking the way…” Bai Puti’s body trembled slightly as the silky touch teased her calf.

She glanced at Yu Jianing, trying to get her to behave, but the other woman didn't even look at her.

"Is everyone here...?" The director came out, followed by staff pushing food carts and drinks.

He was getting a little anxious when he saw them go back to their rooms to rest after lunch, without exchanging any affection with each other.

After all, this show is quite explicit, and the games tomorrow will be even more so.

If they don't say anything and just come tomorrow, what's the difference between them and unofficial media?

At the very least, get to know each other, and try to take one with you when you leave!

"All the teachers have worked hard today. I'd like to treat you all to a meal so you can chat, get to know each other, and just treat each other like friends. Don't be shy..."

The director spoke politely, but Yu Jianing, who kept causing trouble, naturally chimed in:

"Thank you for your expense, Director. I see you've prepared a lot of food. Why don't you sit down and join us?"

"Forget it, forget it. You bunch of young girls are eating, what would it look like if a grown man like me showed up here? It wouldn't look good if word got out."

He waved his hand, ordered his men to put the food down, and then left with his men.

After the director left, the hall fell silent. Everyone was watching the scumbag woman, waiting for her to speak.

"Why are you all staring at me? Let's eat. I slept all afternoon, and I'm a little hungry too!"

Yu Jianing squinted, trying to appear more approachable, and turned to look at Ti Zi's knuckles, which were white from gripping the sofa cushion:

"Teacher Bai, are you not feeling well? Your face is so red. Should you go home and rest?"

Feeling unwell? Don't you know how I feel right now?

Bai Puti shook her head, too afraid to speak, lest she let her voice tremble.

"Oh, it's alright~" Xiao Ning smiled even more playfully, teasing her without getting tired at all.

"Thank you to the production team for the delicious food, and thank you for bringing us together. I'd like to raise a glass to everyone."

The blond-haired man stood up, holding his wine glass, and spoke.

The others followed suit, and the scumbag woman was instantly unhappy. Why are you everywhere?

But she didn't show it. She stood up, raised her glass, and said, "Thank you for the encounter..."

Bai Putuo breathed a sigh of relief; for the first time, she felt that this thing was actually somewhat useful...

After the toasts were finished and everyone was seated again, the scumbag woman tried to use the same trick again, but Ti Zi grabbed her foot first.

"Um?"

Xiao Ning shrank back a little, but the other person held on tightly and even pinched her hard in retaliation.

Someone almost jumped up on the spot.

"Kid, do you really want me to embarrass myself in front of everyone?"

She lowered her voice and punched him, while Tizi glanced at her and said, "Didn't you just try to embarrass me too, sister?"

"???"

Is this her family's silly child?

When did they start talking back?

Before she could think much about it, she noticed a faint hissing sound under her feet.

Holy crap! This kid's gone crazy!

Just as Yu Jianing was about to advise her to quit while she was ahead, Ti Zi retaliated by giving her another sharp retort.

"Um…"

She bit her tongue, swallowed the words back, and lay on the table for a long time without moving.

"What's wrong, Actress Yu? Actress Yu?"

"Huh?" Xiao Ning only came to her senses after being called a few times, and tried to pull her leg away, but the child wouldn't let go.

"It's nothing, I just bumped my head on the corner of the table..."

"Hmm?" The blond man was a little confused and wanted to look down.

Yu Jianing quickly called out to her, "By the way, I heard you looked for me at noon, what's up?"

Seeing her take the initiative to talk to someone who was interested in her, he was so jealous he was about to explode, and he kept massaging her Yongquan acupoint.

"I was given a role, a villain, and the director asked me to watch Yu Ying-wei's performance. I didn't quite understand it and couldn't figure out where my problem lay..."

The despicable woman was about to break her chopsticks in her hand, but she still had a natural smile on her face:

"Well...it varies from person to person...when I was acting...the director...told me to tone it down..."

"If it's convenient for you... perform a short piece for me right now, so I can... get a direct and intuitive understanding..."

Upon hearing that the Best Actress would be giving him on-the-spot guidance, the blonde bombshell grinned from ear to ear and walked unceremoniously to an open space to begin performing a scene from the play.

Everyone's attention was drawn to her, and the scumbag woman quickly grabbed Bai Puti's hand, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and rubbed them back and forth.

"Kid, grapes, wife, please...stop, I really don't want to embarrass myself, please, please."

This was the first time Yu Jianing had given in to Ti Zi since they got together.

Her coquettish skill activated, dealing a critical hit of 999 points of damage to the jealous woman. Bai Puti blushed and dared not look at her, whispering, "Switch to the other one..."

"Ah? I was wrong..."

"I won't let you embarrass yourself, be a good girl..."

Seeing her expression, Yu Jianing knew she couldn't escape, so she obediently crossed her legs.

Uh, it's definitely lighter this time?

but……

This is even stranger! Jia Ning is completely numb!

It's such a waste of your skills that you don't open a foot massage shop!

As she received the massage, Xiao Ning leaned back softly on the sofa, her eyes somewhat vacant.

Her mind almost went blank. If the blonde hadn't finished her performance, she almost would have kissed him first.

"Actress Yu, do you feel there was anything wrong with my performance just now?"

The blonde guy humbly asked for advice, but the other guy only had question marks in his mind?

You're asking me? I just overdid it...

I didn't even watch it!

"Ahem..." Bai Puti coughed, and while his wife was lost in thought, she withdrew her hand.

She stared at the girl she had called "thing" and replied on Xiao Ning's behalf:

"Your performance just now showed that you put a lot of effort into it, but don't you think you overdid it? You were supposed to be playing a gang leader, right?"

"After learning he was betrayed by his subordinate, you just yelled that line out? Do you think a big shot would lose his composure so easily without any restraint?"

"Hmm... Teacher Bai is right about what I wanted to talk about..." Yu Jianing secretly rolled her eyes at Ti Zi.

Does this child treat her older sister like a toy? She's got me hooked, but she's actually watching others put on a show!

That's really going too far!
