Ji Qian thought she was having a bad day. In five years in the entertainment industry, she was still a barely known, faded starlet, with a pile of weird black gossip accusations. Recently, people e...
Although she said she wanted to change rooms, Ji Qian hesitated again when Han Mengyao was carrying a basket and preparing to move: "Sister Meng, how about we forget it? That room is really dirty, you definitely can't live there by yourself."
Han Mengyao, who was carrying a basket and walking ahead of Ji Qian, suddenly stopped upon hearing this: "I think what you said makes sense. After all, I'm a girl, and it's definitely not suitable for me to live alone, so..."
Han Mengyao turned to look at Ji Qian, her two big, dark eyes shining brightly: "Let's live together!" "Huh?!" Ji Qian never expected such an answer. Her rationality briefly wavered for a moment until Han Mengyao impatiently pulled her towards the main room, and Ji Qian came back to her senses.
"No! Wait a minute, I mean we'll both stay in your room!" Ji Qian was always very strong, and she pulled Han Mengyao back to where she was.
Looking at Ji Qian, who was weak, pitiful, helpless but strong as an ox, Han Mengyao tried to persuade her with her emotions: "Qianqian, you have to think of it this way. My room is just a servant's room. The environment is not good and the location is remote. There probably aren't any clues there."
"And your room is the best in the whole house; it's bound to hold a lot of clues. Didn't you just say you wanted to film the show properly? If we can't solve the mystery, this show might really have to stop airing!"
“But…” Ji Qian clearly knew that Han Mengyao was making excuses, but she couldn’t find a way to refute her. Han Mengyao seized the opportunity and pressed her advantage: “Besides, the bed in my room is really too hard. I’ll definitely get sick if I sleep in it for a week. Qianqian, why don’t you keep your sister company? It won’t be too scary if the two of us live together.”
Han Mengyao truly deserves her title as the nation's first love for many years. When she acts coquettishly, she is much more natural than Mi Yesi. Although Ji Qian already knew Han Mengyao's true colors, she still couldn't help but be moved when she saw this scene. Fortunately, fear eventually overwhelmed everything. After hesitating for a long time, Ji Qian finally righteously rejected the temptation of beauty.
When Han Mengyao saw that one plan had failed, she proposed another idea to Ji Qian: "Then... how about I go and call Mi Yesi, and the three of us girls can sleep together? Her room has a very small bed, and it must be uncomfortable for her to sleep there."
Ji Qian's already wavering resolve took another blow. She thought to herself, "That makes sense. The bed in the main room looks big and comfortable, and with three people together, it shouldn't be so scary, right? After all, a triangle is the most stable structure." Ji Qian frantically tried to find reasons for herself, but seeing her relent, Han Mengyao immediately dragged her to the door of Mi Yesi's room.
In fact, the commotion caused by Han Mengyao and Ji Qian pulling and tugging in the corridor was quite loud, and Mi Yesi, who hadn't taken a nap, had already heard their noise.
Because the door was thick, Mi Yesi even pressed her face against the door to hear more clearly. At that moment, she saw Han Mengyao pulling Ji Qian toward her. Mi Yesi wanted to go back to bed and pretend to take a nap, but as she turned around, she tripped over her own feet and fell flat on her face with a loud "bang".
Ji Qian and Han Mengyao, who had just reached the door, were both startled when they heard the sound. Han Mengyao went forward to push the door but found it wouldn't open. In a moment of panic, Ji Qian pushed Han Mengyao aside and kicked open Mi Yesi's door.
Sunlight slowly streamed into the room as the door opened, illuminating Mi Yesi, who was lying on the floor. None of the three knew how to speak, and a long silence fell over the room.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere was quickly broken by the production team who came after hearing the commotion.
Seeing the door lock that Ji Qian had kicked apart, the production team had no choice but to suggest to Mi Yesi that they move after repeated failed attempts to rebuild it.
Even for the sake of the show's reputation, they couldn't allow a single female celebrity to continue living in this unlocked room.
Seeing the situation, Han Mengyao took the initiative to suggest that Mi Yesi move in with Ji Qian, saying that her own room was so remote that she was scared to live there, and she also wanted to move in with Ji Qian.
Ji Qian naturally had no objections. Mi Yesi originally wanted to refuse, but then she remembered that Xu Qi lived next door to Ji Qian. Thinking about the advice her manager had given her before she came, Mi Yesi hesitated for a long time before finally saying no.
All three parties involved agreed, and the production team couldn't object any further, so the matter was settled.
Han Mengyao was clearly very satisfied with the result. Ignoring Mi Yesi's unwilling expression, she enthusiastically helped her pack her things and headed towards the main room. Mi Yesi and Ji Qian followed behind dejectedly.
The camera in Mi Yesi's room had been covered up when she was eavesdropping, so the viewers watching the live stream had no idea what was going on. When they saw Han Mengyao carrying two baskets and walking towards the main room, they assumed that she had been bullied.
Are newbies this arrogant now? They actually dared to ask their seniors to carry things.
[Ji Qian is one thing, but this woman is crazy; she might have threatened Yao Yao. What right does Mi Yesi have?!]
What's wrong with our Mimi?! She's so frail, maybe the old man is just being protective and chivalrous!
[Who are you calling old! Look at your Mi Cha's long face, she could easily play Yao Yao's mother if she stood next to her.]
【Yao Yao, huh? She's over thirty and still acting young. She's definitely taking advantage of her age to bully these two younger girls!】
[Little girl? You're not talking about the ghost messenger duo, are you?]
What kind of weird combination is this?
[They are a duo of ghost messengers; Ji Qian is the ghost, and Mi Yesi is the tea.]
[Wow, that's amazing! Ji Qian is paired up with someone else!]
[This isn't a romantic pairing! It's just for easier insults!!]
Wait, are they going to live together?
[No way, Mi Yesi would actually want to live with Ji Qian?]
[Look, isn't that basket Miyesi's luggage?!]
[That basket next to her belongs to Yao Yao!]
Han Mengyao placed the basket directly on the table in the main hall. Mi Yesi also sat down in the armchair in the center of the hall without any ceremony. Only Ji Qian was still standing outside the door, hesitant to come in.
Mi Yesi had taken a hard fall, and only after sitting down in the chair did she finally feel a little better. Thinking of the large, soft bed in the room, her attitude towards Ji Qian softened considerably: "Why don't you come in?"
With Mi Yesi present, Ji Qian didn't dare to look at the beam too obviously, and could only awkwardly change the subject: "I'm moving around a bit, I got tired of sitting in the room."
"Oh." Having received a response, Mi Yesi stopped paying attention to Ji Qian and leaned back in her chair to rest with her eyes closed.
Han Mengyao had no intention of letting Ji Qian fend for herself. She put down the basket, turned around, and took Ji Qian's hand: "Come on, let me take your hand."
Ji Qian knew she couldn't avoid it, and since she had to sleep in this room anyway, she gritted her teeth and followed Han Mengyao inside.
The old man on the beam remained hanging quietly, showing no reaction to Ji Qian and the others' actions. Ji Qian's anxious heart gradually calmed down, but she still felt empty inside, as if something was missing to support her courage. What was it...?
