Chapter 99

After returning to Beiji, Ranlong moved his luggage to Qiu An's house and officially started their shameless cohabitation life.

Why do we say they are shameless? Because living together deprives them of privacy.

For example, Ranlong would see Qiu An log onto the "veteran" Weibo account and write in front of her face, without hiding or dodging, "Xiaoran wore her hat askew when she got off the plane today, and she didn't notice it the whole way. Her fans and Hou Jie thought it was her style, and no one reminded her. In the end, she straightened it herself when she was leaving. Whose little confused kid is this cute?"

Ranlong wanted to say something but stopped himself, but it was Qiu An's freedom to surf the Internet and act like a spoiled child, and she couldn't stop him just because they were in love and living together.

Ranlong could only watch her click send, and see her eyes curved with laughter when everyone in the comments said, "Of course it's Qiu An's."

And "Five minutes before her alarm went off in the morning, Sister Hou called her and woke her up. She was mad at Sister Hou for this all day, but when Sister Hou was nearly pinched by the elevator door that night, she still pulled her back. Although she knew she meant well, Qiu An would be jealous if she saw it."

Qiu An even knew that she couldn't use her full name when shipping a couple, so she replaced the "Qiu" in her name with the "ball" emoticon.

Ranlong hesitated to speak.

…

Ranlong couldn't help but ask: "Are you an elementary school student?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have a high level of education, so I can only write this kind of elementary school diary." Qiu An raised his innocent eyes and looked at her.

"Uh, that's not what I meant. Although I know you know I didn't mean that, I have no evidence, so please admit it."

"Okay, so am I not allowed to be jealous, or am I not allowed to post on Weibo?"

Forget it. Ran Long threw away Qiu An’s phone and thought as he kissed her lips, it’s okay to be childish, but she is the girlfriend I’m going to date, what can I do?

Of course I stayed with her.

Ranlong also registered a secondary Weibo account and went to the super topic to praise Qiu An.

From then on, they became the crooked-butt duo in their own CP super topic, with nothing to do all day long just to flatter others.

I can only say that CP fans are really worthy of being CP fans. They even support the crooked butt duo...

-

Because their schedules were too full and difficult to coordinate with the Heart-Stealing Girls, there was a long time between the two recordings of the variety show.

When I went to Xindu for the second time, the trailer had already been uploaded to the video platform.

They started filming soon after landing, continuing the recording from last night.

At the end of the year, the temperature always drops rapidly. Wearing clothes from a month ago feels empty.

Ranlong specifically asked Qiu An to put on an extra autumn coat. Qiu An agreed, but she became suspicious and insisted on turning over her collar to take a look.

"The camera is still filming!" Xinlong, who was passing by, reminded jokingly.

"Just shoot it, and if you have the ability, edit it into the feature film!" Ranlong stuck out his tongue at the camera.

When she returned to her room to rest, Xinlong, who was acting normally outside, started crying again as soon as she sat back on the bed.

I almost forgot about this. Ranlong couldn't control his expression and really wanted to vent, so he turned his back to the camera and rolled his eyes.

She handed Xinlong a piece of paper and told her, "You can't keep crying like this. The audience will get tired of it. You have to show the 'character arc', understand?"

Xinlong shook her head.

Ranlong explained: "You just need to show your growth. The teacher will teach you next semester. Anyway, just don't cry."

Xinlong pulled Ranlong closer and whispered in her ear, "You can have Arclight, but I can't."

After saying that, he pushed her back to a safe distance and cried, "I'm really sad! I used to sleep with my sisters..."

Ranlong was silent for a while, then turned around and tried to escape to find Qiu An, but Xinlong was quick enough to grab her wrist and spun her around before her feet even touched the ground.

"Sister, just stay with me for a while."

Looking at Xinlong's big, watery eyes... and mainly at her tightly clenched hands, Ranlong sighed and resigned himself to sitting down on the bed. "Then let's watch the trailer together and go to bed after that, okay?"

"Sure! Thank you, sister~"

The plot of the pilot film begins with packing, that hurried morning when Qiu An ruthlessly left her naked and almost missed her flight.

The editor really knows how to make people angry. He first shows a clip of Qiu An slowly introducing travel supplies and then neatly placing them into the suitcase, and then immediately cuts to a scene where she frantically stuffs things in, keeps introducing them, but nothing looks right.

But she remembered that she was right!

It’s the editing, it must be an editing problem!

Amidst the awkwardness, Xinlong suddenly said, "Sister Xiaoran, the decoration styles of your house and Sister Xiaoan's house are similar."

At the same time, Ranlong caught a glimpse of a comment, and the person was more direct: [How come their home decor is exactly the same? Do they live together?]

The camera fixed on the upper left side works 24 hours a day, and this time is no exception, which provides Ranlong with an opportunity to clarify.

She deliberately raised her voice for the camera to hear: "We don't live together, but we live in the same residential complex. The renovation was done by the developer."

Xinlong squinted at her and made a surprised expression. Ranlong then realized that Xinlong had never said that they lived together!

It’s all because of that barrage!

"Ahem! Cut out the last sentence 'we don't live together'!" Ranlong ordered seriously into the air, while Xinlong tried to suppress her laughter, causing the whole bed to tremble.

The video continued to play until the two groups of people got on their respective cars to the airport.

The film still uses the cross-cutting technique: on one side, the three girls and the heart-stealing girl are squeezed into the same row of seats, hugging and chatting happily; on the other side, she and Qiu An are sitting on either side, silent, rolling their eyes, silent, silent...

Netizens were laughing so hard: [This is so funny, these two are still enemies after filming the movie and the scandal]

[You're already giving me the cold shoulder the moment we meet. How much do you hate me? ]

Damn it! They were clearly saying something very ambiguous when they first got on the car! None of it made it into the edit!

A bad edit! It's a bad edit that doesn't care about the life or death of the guests in order to attract attention!

Xinlong watched the fun without thinking it was too much: "Did you have a fight? Or are you trying to avoid suspicion?"

"Children, don't ask questions about adults' affairs!"

"Oh~ Adult matters~"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't cut this part in, don't cut it in!" Ranlong waved towards the camera, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to her.

The two of them quarreled for as long as the video played.

Until the progress bar reaches the bottom, the screen becomes dim and the night vision mode is turned on.

Ranlong in the video turned on his mobile phone.

The cameras on their heads were probably state-of-the-art. With the magnifying glass effect, they could actually see directly into her phone screen! To prevent viewers from seeing it clearly, the production team used motion effects to simulate the screen on the phone.

The first keyword she searched was - Xinlong!

Ranlong covered the tablet so Xinlong wouldn't be able to read it. "It's late. Let's stop here for today."

"Hey~ It's almost done, let's finish it together!"

"No! I'm sleepy, be obedient!"

Xinlong saw through her immediately: "Did you search for something shameful?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Just let me finish watching it without you! If I don't watch it now, I will secretly watch it in the middle of the night!" Xinlong snatched the tablet away while Ranlong was not paying attention and clicked play.

As expected, Ranlong typed the word "Xinlong" into the search box. When he saw the 600-point cultural score, he jumped up from the bed...

The barrage was instantly flooded with “ha”s.

Ranlong silently took the tablet, closed the video software, and said sadly, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Yeah! I'm satisfied! I didn't expect Sister Xiaoran to care about me so much that she even searched for my name?"

"I wasn't just being boring... By the way, did you really get 600 points on the college entrance exam?"

"Can college entrance exam results be faked? Of course they're real! So, are you impressed by my clever brain?"

“…”

The next day, news came from the hospital that several villagers who were injured in the explosion in the hotel that day had gradually regained consciousness, and a group of people went to the hospital to visit them.

Before leaving, Xinlong stuffed several bottles of drinks provided by the sponsor into her bag. Ranlong saw this and kindly reminded her, "If you want to drink something, the hospital will definitely have some. Don't bring so many, it will be heavy on the way."

Xinlong didn't appreciate it: "It's a small bottle that's easy to carry. It's just that little, how can it be heavy?"

Not only did she refuse to listen, she even went so far as to blame her in front of the sponsors! Ranlong walked away with a sullen face.

Halfway through the journey, Xinlong hung the bag on Ranlong and said with a smile, "Look, isn't it not heavy at all?"

Ranlong's shoulders sank, but the camera was right in front of her and her sponsor's mother was watching from behind. What could she say?

"It's not heavy, it's really not heavy at all!"

It’s not heavy, why don’t you carry it yourself?!

Ranlong took the heavy backpack.

After walking for a while, Qiu An approached Ranlong, silently pulled the shoulder strap of her backpack, and motioned her to carry it.

"It's really not heavy! There aren't many bottles left. Look, it's very light!"

Ranlong had no intention of currying favor with sponsors, but what she said sounded quite servile.

"Let's each carry one side."

Ranlong refused to leave unless she gave it to Qiu An, so she had no choice but to give her one shoulder strap.

It was indeed much easier with two people sharing the burden.

And she could legitimately stand shoulder to shoulder with Qiu An, closer to him, as if they were holding hands.

This backpack of drinks doesn't seem so annoying anymore.

The hospital was busier than expected. One of the injured was the son of the village chief. The village chief was taking care of him here, and many people came to curry favor with him under the pretext of visiting him.

What was there to curry favor with in such a small village and such a small village chief? Ranlong didn't understand.

Looking at each ward, most of the injured were young people of the same age as the village chief's son. They were having a party in a restaurant and happened to encounter the explosion.

In addition to these young people, they also saw a gray-haired aunt who also had some degree of burns on her body.

When Qiu An walked forward to check, his aunt suddenly sat up, raised her hands high, and pounced on Qiu An.

Ranlong was startled and rushed forward to protect Qiu An. Her movements were so fast that even the actress playing the aunt had no time to react and she accidentally scratched her shoulder.

Ranlong groaned in pain. Qiu An held her waist and took a step back, scolding the aunt: "What are you crazy about?!"

Qiu An actually showed such an expression to a stranger she met for the first time. I don't know if she was angry at the character or the actor. Ran Long was shocked and quickly comforted Qiu An: "It's okay, she must have been careless, just a light touch, don't be angry."

The aunt glared at the two men and was still about to pounce. Seeing this, the heart-stealing girls and the nurses hurried forward to control the aunt.

As the auntie struggled, Xinlong pulled out a bottle of sponsored drink from her bag: "Come on, drink this bottle of soda and let's make friends!"

Unexpectedly, the aunt looked at the soda, thought for half a second, and then calmed down.

Money can cure mental illness. Is there something wrong with the program's values? Ranlong held his forehead.

When everyone asked, the nurse told them that this aunt had suffered a misfortune a few years ago. Her youngest daughter died and her eldest daughter ran away. She has gone crazy ever since.

When asked further, the nurse was unwilling to give details.

They decided to sneak into the aunt's residence and investigate her.

On the way, Ranlong glanced at Qiu An from time to time. Qiu An noticed and asked her, "Were you scared by me just now?"

"Well... a little bit."

"Sorry." Nothing more.

"...Then don't do this next time." Ranlong coaxed her carefully.

"I'll try my best." Qiu An said lightly.

Try? No guarantee?

Is your period not here yet? Even if it was, you wouldn't be so irritable, right? But I was just accidentally bumped, and there was no bleeding or injury, so there's no need to be so angry, right?

Ranlong scratched his head.

This kind of Qiu An made her feel a little unfamiliar.
