Bi Xie had never been in a proper relationship in her entire life before dying while climbing a mountain with her best friend.
She then made a contract with a gorgeous man who crawled out of ...
Ding Murou posted several Weibo posts in a row, which actually attracted a group of fans, and her number of Weibo followers rose to more than 30,000.
Manni did not respond, seemingly intending to let the matter cool down. After all, Weibo's trending topics update quickly, the internet has no memory, and it will be forgotten after a while.
Bi Xie scrolled through the comments for a while when he heard someone knocking on the door.
Thinking it was Xia Mian bringing breakfast, Bi Xie opened the door without even changing out of his pajamas.
“An…” Ji Jing, who was outside the door, saw the girl wearing pajamas and slippers. His face turned red instantly, and he stammered with a flickering eye.
Bi Xie's pajamas were very proper, but Ji Jing's blushing made her feel very uncomfortable. She glanced at Ji Jing and asked, "Why is it you?"
"Xia Mian had some things to do, and I also didn't have any filming this morning... I saw you weren't on set, and I was a little worried about you, so... I came to check on you, and also... brought you breakfast." He lifted the breakfast bag.
“You bought too much,” Bi Xie said in a hoarse voice, looking at the several bags the man was carrying.
"Yes...yes, I bought a little too much. I just didn't know what you liked to eat, so I bought a little of everything. Is your injury...is it any better?" Ji Jing stared at the red and purple marks on the girl's neck, looking anxious. "Should we go to the hospital again?"
"No need," Bi Xie cleared his throat, standing at the door, showing no intention of letting Ji Jing in.
When the atmosphere became a little awkward, Bi Xie turned around and went back to his room. He took out a stack of banknotes from Ali's backpack, then ran back and handed them to Ji Jing. "This is for breakfast and the taxi fare from that day. You don't need to come looking for me anymore. We're not close."
This can be described as quite direct and heartless.
As expected, Ji Jing's face turned pale, but he didn't take the money. Instead, he handed a few breakfast bags to Bi Xie and said in a deep voice, "I don't need money."
Bi Xie's eye twitched slightly, expressing his deep disgust for this statement as a poor person.
At the hotel room door, the two were pushing and shoving money back and forth. From a distance, one would think they were doing something else entirely. Bi Xie had just been trending on social media that morning, and he didn't want to be trending again tomorrow. He couldn't help but roll his eyes in exasperation.
This tug-of-war ultimately ended with Bi Xie's faster hand speed.
Ji Jing stared blankly at the closed door, still not understanding how he had been pushed out.
He was wearing a hoodie today, which had no pockets, and the girl simply stuffed the money into his hood.
Ji Jing was stunned for a long time, then said with a wry smile, "An Xie, I know you broke up with Xiao Yingdi, and I understand that you are feeling sad right now. I... I hope I can be there for you. If you are willing to be with me in the future, we can... date again."
Not satisfied with the role in the play, Bi Xie continued to act off-screen. Speechless, he leaned against the door and bluntly stated, "Ji Jing, I don't know what agreement you and Man Ni reached, but don't make fun of me. I advise you not to get involved in what's between Man Ni and me."
Bi Xie, carrying breakfast, thought for a moment and added, "Xiao Jingyi, you shouldn't touch it either."
The saying "Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives" holds true. Ji Jing never expressed his feelings for her earlier or later, but suddenly confessed his love to her in front of the entire crew after Man Ni arrived on set. This was suspicious.
If it was just a suspicion before, it is now a certainty.
She admitted that the original owner of An Xie was a beauty, but she had always been indifferent to Ji Jing. That day, after Xiao Jingyi choked her, she returned to the film crew. If Ji Jing really cared about her, he should have chased after her to the hospital. However, he waited until she and Xia Mian came out of the hospital before driving to wait at the hospital entrance.
This shows that he didn't want to go, but he had no choice but to go because someone ordered him to.
It's easy to guess who this person is.
There was no sound from outside the door for a long time.
After a while, just when Bi Xie thought Ji Jing would slink away, the man chuckled softly, “An Xie, you’re very smart, that’s true. That was indeed the case at first, but this morning, I took the initiative to buy you breakfast. I unilaterally terminated the cooperation with Man Ni.”
Bi Xie frowned: "Why?"
"Because I've found you to be really interesting," Ji Jing smiled slightly, quite frankly. If Ji Jing's fans saw him like this now, how could they still think that their idol was a cute puppy? He was clearly a hunter casually toying with his prey.
Bi Xie's gaze darkened, feeling like he was being watched. "I'm sorry, Young Master Ji, I'm not as interesting as you think, and I really have absolutely no interest in you, nor in trending on social media with you. From now on, please keep your distance from me."
"Hehe," Ji Jing smiled and knocked on the door, then chuckled in a low voice, "I'm afraid that's not possible. You're single, and I'm single. You're beautiful and I'm rich. You'll eventually be interested in me."
Bi Xie's lips twitched, speechless. How could there be someone who shamelessly and nonchalantly pats themselves on the back?
As it turns out, Ji Jing really is very idle, very bored, and very rich.
During his recuperation, Bi Xie received flowers, chocolates, jewelry, bags, designer clothes, new mobile phones, computers, and more.
Ji Jing's ostentatious behavior has ironically landed Bi Xie on the trending topics list once again.
Trending on the sixth hot search list: Love blossoms on set! It's revealed that the film star's ex-girlfriend has found a new love—Ji Jing, an actor from the same drama!
The accompanying pictures were several blurry images, but you could still vaguely make out that the girl in them was Bi Xie.
It goes without saying that Bi Xie was severely criticized after being photographed like this only a few days after the breakup!
So much so that after the bruises on Bi Xie's neck faded and she received a notice to return to the film set, the way everyone on the crew looked at her was a bit...
Bi Xie tried to ignore these gazes and focused his attention on the script.
In fact, she had already memorized her lines perfectly, but she just didn't want to look around and see certain people she didn't want to see.
"An'an—"
Upon hearing Ji Jing's voice, Bi Xie's head began to buzz. He instinctively grabbed the script to cover his head and slumped in his chair, shouting, "I'm not here! I don't want it! Take it all away!"
"An'an, don't you want to see? I'm sure you'll like what I brought you this time!" Ji Jing raised the corners of her mouth, her smile pure and innocent.
"No!" Bi Xie didn't even bother to look at it, sighed, and peeked out from behind the script. "Ji Jing, haven't I told you before that you're annoying? Can't you go bother someone else?"
The boy grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, and replied seriously, "I did say no," then added with a cheeky grin, "I just love bothering you."
Bi Xie gritted his teeth, a sinister smile spreading across his face: "If you're not afraid of waking up one day with a bruised and swollen face on some street corner, then keep going, keep going..."
"Anxie, come here for a second!" the script supervisor, Brother Huang, called out.
Bi Xie finally found an excuse, took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and pushed Ji Jing away, "I have to film, please don't disturb me, thank you."
"An'an, are you sure you don't want to look at the information about Actor Xiao?" Ji Jing smiled slightly, a small USB drive between his fingers.
Bi Xie paused, turned around, and looked at him silently.
Ji Jing touched his nose, his gaze flickering slightly as she stared at him: "I went through a lot of trouble to get this. How about this, you treat me to a meal after you finish filming, and I'll give it to you, okay?"
"Where did it come from?" Bi Xie asked.
"Money can make the devil turn the millstone," Ji Jing said ambiguously.
The script supervisor was urging them on from afar. Bi Xie frowned, then said after a moment, "We have to rush to finish filming these next few days. We'll talk about it in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jing's smile brightened, and he nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
Bi Xie's lips twitched. What was this guy expecting? Did he think she would treat him to a fancy seafood feast or a French meal? At most, she'd treat him to some roadside stir-fried rice noodles with a poached egg.
