Have you found a company yet?

Luo Jiu, who was laughing heartily at the plot of the TV series, was suddenly stunned when she heard this sentence.

"No, Sister Zhenzhen said she'll wait until 'The Story of Jinshu' airs before deciding. What's wrong?"

"How about signing with my studio?"

Luo Jiu paused, holding the potato chips, and turned her head to see Shen Jinchen still smiling, unable to understand what he meant.

"You must be joking."

"No."

Chen Jinchen's words left Luo Jiu bewildered. Gazing into his deep pupils, she felt as if she would fall into them if she looked any longer.

"My studio will not have any unfair terms or conditions, and you don't need to worry about future development plans at all, plus there is a professional operations team..."

"Ahem, wait a minute. I'm not saying your team is bad, it's just..."

Luo Jiu scratched his head, looking completely bewildered: "Why would they want to sign me?"

Luo Jiu had heard of Shen Jinchen's team; it was a top-notch team specially tailored for him, accompanying him from an ordinary person to a household name and a famous movie star. Just hearing about it made him sound incredibly impressive.

However, I've heard that these kinds of studios don't sign artists. Wouldn't it be better to focus on planning and serving just one person?

So, what does he mean?

Shen Jinchen laughed. Seeing Luo Jiu's adorable appearance, he wanted to pull him into his arms and give him a good squeeze.

"Of course, it's because you deserve it."

Luo Jiu: "??"

I understand every single word you say, but why can't I understand it when you put them together?

Just then, Luo Jiu's phone rang again; it was Liu Zhen calling.

"The matter of you being secretly filmed and cyberbullied has been resolved, but what's strange is that a group of people had already taken care of it before I did anything about it. Their methods were very swift and skillful; it must have been done by someone in the industry..."

Luo Jiu hung up the phone and turned to look at Shen Jinchen with a complicated expression.

Is that you?

Chen Jinchen nodded in agreement, smiling as he looked at Luo Jiu, his legs slightly bent as he leaned back on the sofa in an extremely comfortable position.

"Why?"

Luo Jiu was somewhat flattered by Shen Jinchen's sudden show of goodwill.

"Um……"

He pondered for a moment, then slowly leaned down to look at Luo Jiu, gazing at her with deep affection through his extremely dark pupils, his thin lips curving slightly upwards.

"I thought it was obvious."

I'm pursuing you.

Luo Jiu: "?!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Jiu's face slowly turned red, her eyes darting around and avoiding Shen Jinchen's gaze.

"Luo Jiu, be good, look into my eyes."

Shen Jinchen's deep voice rang in Luo Jiu's ears as he forcefully turned Luo Jiu's face toward him.

So, do you like me?

These words exploded in Luo Jiu's mind like a bang, leaving her head buzzing and her brain completely blank, unable to think.

Luo Jiu stared directly at him, her face as red as a peach.

"Um?"

Chen Jinchen's eyes, his voice, his movements—everything about him was an irresistible temptation to commit a crime.

Luo Jiu turned her head away, trying hard to resist the temptation of her beauty.

After calming down for a moment, Luo Jiu's voice was extremely soft and gentle, like that of a small animal.

Didn't you say you were going to pursue me?

He hasn't even pursued me yet, but he wants to trick me into being his girlfriend. That's a really good idea.

Shen Jinchen understood Luo Jiu's meaning and chuckled softly. His lips curled into an uncontrollable smile, and his entire being radiated joy.

He walked up to Luo Jiu, slowly squatted down, and kissed her forehead to her surprise.

Goodnight, Jiu'er. See you tomorrow.

Even after Shen Jinchen left, Luo Jiu was still in a daze, idly touching the spot on her forehead where he had kissed her.

The persistent blush on her face and the abnormal beating of her heart in her chest were constant reminders of what Luo Jiu had just witnessed.

"So, this is a confession?" Or was it the male lead's confession?!

Luo Jiu murmured softly, trying to hide her shock.

At times like these, Luo Jiu would fondly miss the days when she had a system cheat. It was a bit of a pain, but at least she could check the progress of the mission.

For some reason, when Luo Jiu heard him say that, she could no longer simply regard him as a target for her conquest.

He is a human being, a living, breathing person. He has his own lifestyle, relationships, and thinking abilities.

Originally, she approached him with a purpose: to win him over. But now, Luo Jiu knew clearly that she had fallen for him. Even if she said she didn't like him, her body language couldn't lie.

To make room for the two of them, Li Li went downstairs to find food, leaving Luo Jiu alone in the entire house.

She wanted to shout out excitedly, the words were already on the tip of her tongue, but then she thought, Shen Jinchen lives next door, you don't know how good the soundproofing is, maybe she will embarrass herself without realizing it.

Luo Jiu tried hard to suppress the excitement in her heart and wanted to go to the balcony for some fresh air.

To her surprise, as soon as she drew back the curtains, she saw Shen Jinchen holding a glass of red wine, smiling at her.

Luo Jiu: "..."

With a whoosh, she slammed the curtains shut right in front of him.

In that instant, Luo Jiu heard Shen Jinchen's muffled laughter. It came in bursts, making Luo Jiu's ears itch.

What are you doing here?

She couldn't help but stick half her head out and ask in a muffled voice.

"I've been waiting for you."

Shen Jinchen took a sip of red wine, his dark pupils shining even brighter in the moonlight than before.

He slowly smiled, his voice extremely deep and magnetic.

"Waiting patiently for a rabbit to run into a tree stump, hoping to have good luck."

Luo Jiu was annoyed, feeling that this person was mocking her intelligence, but she had no evidence.

"So, I'm the rabbit then."

Seeing Luo Jiu's expression, Shen Jinchen knew exactly what she was thinking, and gazed at her with extremely deep affection in his eyes.

"You're the girl I like."

Luo Jiu was speechless, her face flushing red again. How could the male lead be so good at flirting? It was practically cheating!

"Okay, I'll stop teasing you."

Chen Jinchen smiled and raised his wine glass.

"I have some wine glasses here, want to join me?"

"Hmph, drink it yourself."

The moonlight was beautiful, its bright rays stretching for miles, and the stars peeked shyly out from behind the clouds. Everything was quiet; even the rustling of leaves in the evening breeze was barely audible.

Yet, for some reason, it filled the two of them with joy, a sweetness that was almost overflowing.

Shen Jinchen looked at the moonlight and a rare smile appeared on his face.

He took out his phone, guessing that Luo Jiu was about to go to sleep.

Type a few words in WeChat.

Good night, sweet dreams.

Not long after, I heard a ding from my phone, and I couldn't suppress the smile on my face.
