Wen Runruan kicked Xie Jinzhi's leg lightly under the table, and Xie Jinzhi looked at Wen Runruan in confusion.
"Director Xie, are you nervous?" Wen Runruan rested her hands on the table and looked at Xie Jinzhi with a smile.
Xie Jinzhi, who was mentioned, looked at Wen Ruan in surprise, then flatly denied it: "I just don't like to talk."
Wen Ruan nodded, her cheek flesh squeezed out by her hands, making her look like a kitten from the side. "Yeah, it's true, I don't like to talk."
She was kind enough to protect Director Xie's status in everyone's eyes, but she also asked the question that had confused her that morning: "Director, did you go out drinking last night?"
Xie Jinzhi's hand that was picking up the food suddenly stopped, and his handsome features suddenly turned cold. Wen Runruan vaguely felt that something was wrong with Xie Jinzhi.
However, no matter when, the book never mentioned that he went out to get drunk while filming "Ten Kill Orders". At first, Wen Ruan thought it was a butterfly effect, but now it seems that it may be the character's background that the book is reluctant to describe in detail.
The original book focuses on sweet love stories with strong men and women. Although it is well written, Wen Runruan feels that the love plot is very successful, and even wants to fall in love after reading it. However, the character portrayal is still somewhat weak. While serving the love story, the author reduced the length of the book to shape the character's personality.
Seeing that Xie Jinzhi didn't want to say more, she continued, "I just smelled some alcohol on the director this morning. I think you had a headache, so you took the day off. But you still did a lot of work today. You've worked hard!"
The girl's sparkling eyes sparkled. Xie Jin knew she was trying to smooth things over, so she smiled and looked at her: "Wen Ruanruan, when you can get out of the role with ease, I will tell you a secret."
Xie Jinzhi's words surprised Wen Ruanruan. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Jinzhi, her red lips slightly raised: "Okay!"
After the meal, a dessert was served. At this time, the system's voice suddenly rang out: "Host, please squeeze the mustard into the dessert for Xie Jinzhi to eat."
"..." Wen Runruan was speechless for a while, then she remembered that in the book, Wen Runruan felt that Xie Jinzhi was not happy with her, so she put a tube of mustard in his mouth. Later, when Xie Jinzhi found out, the usually cold Xie Jinzhi was so angry that he never paid any attention to Wen Runruan again.
All subsequent communications were mediated by the assistant director, and the film was barely completed.
But, she remembered that this plot was later, right? How could it be brought forward?
"Wen Heng! Isn't that the last part? It's not nice to play a prank on someone right after I've established a good relationship with them, right?" She also wanted to say that the original owner was truly clueless. As the famous "grassbag beauty," she truly lived up to the title. She clearly liked someone, yet she insisted on saying rude and foolish things, and even thanked them for something offensive.
In the original plot, Wen Runruan played a prank because she knew Xie Jinzhi was in a bad mood after returning from home, and she wanted him to relax and cry for a while under the guise of mustard. Who knew that she stepped on a landmine and was beaten so badly that he never paid any attention to her again.
The key point is that the eldest lady is still foolishly thinking that she is very smart. Now she is in a difficult situation. Wen Ruanruan had to quietly take a tube of mustard from the table, and then spread the mustard on the cake while Xie Jinzhi was called to the bathroom by Qian Duo.
After finally breaking free from Song Song's inspirational words, Qi Luan took in all of Wen Runruan's little movements. He narrowed his eyes, then pretended to take the cake from her side and poured the cake on Wen Runruan.
"Host, he did it on purpose!" Wen Heng's indignant voice was so loud that those who didn't know would think he was being plotted against.
Wen Ruanruan wanted to block Wen Heng's mouth: "Keep your voice down, okay? My ears are more deaf than yours."
She didn't know what Qi Luan was trying to do. At this moment, he lowered his head and apologized, then handed her a tissue. Seeing him like this, Wen Runruan almost thought that Wen Heng had seen it wrong.
She took the tissue handed to her by Qi Luan and wiped it simply. She couldn't leave the table in case someone took the cake.
Li Yi and Song Song also noticed what the two were doing. Li Yi quickly wiped the cream off Wen Ruanruan's body. "What happened? I'm afraid your clothes are..."
This dress is a limited edition of Shelwish. Li Yi knows her stuff. Shelwish's clothes are ruined if the material gets stained with sticky substances like grease and cream.
"It's okay, I'll change when I get back. Let's finish this dessert and don't waste it." Wen Runruan felt distressed as this dress was not cheap.
But Qi Luan looked as if she really didn't mean it. Wen Ruan frowned, and when Xie Jinzhi came back, he saw the little girl staring at the cake.
"Want to eat?" Xie Jinzhi's voice floated from the front, pulling Wen Ruan back to his thoughts and thinking of the mission. "I left this for you. You get one and I get one."
Then she handed him the cake that she had put mustard on. Xie Jinzhi didn't like desserts. The original owner gave him the mustard cake because she was in a bad mood. She ate it because she heard others say that sweets can make people happy.
He was a little hesitant, but refusing was not a good idea. However, he felt that something as sweet as cake was not suitable for him.
Xie Jinzhi looked at it for a long time without moving. Wen Runruan thought Xie Jinzhi had noticed, and feeling a little guilty, she picked up the cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
A strong spicy and irritating smell instantly filled her entire mouth. Wen Runruan was choked to the point that her head was about to be blocked, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Tears fell to the table. Qian Duo had been watching since Wen Ruanruan gave Xie Jinzhi the cake. Seeing someone crying, he grabbed Xie Jinzhi and said, "What the hell? She's so sad because you didn't eat her cake? I think she really likes you. Just give her some face and eat it. Oh my god, she's crying so hard. Hurry up and comfort her."
Qian Duo poked the stunned Xie Jinzhi. Looking at Wen Runruan's red eyes from crying, Xie Jinzhi was a little at a loss.
Does she really like me that much? But wouldn't eating it give her hope? But if I don't eat it, she'll just keep crying, right?
"It's Qi Luan, it must be him! Otherwise he can't explain what he did just now!" Wen Heng kept talking in Wen Runruan's mind.
Wen Runruan was so spicy that she couldn't speak. The spicy and pungent smell filled the air all at once. Wen Runruan wanted to drink some water, but there was none on the table.
Finally, she watched Xie Jinzhi with tears in her eyes as he reached out and ate the cake. Then Xie Jinzhi took out a few more pieces of paper and handed them to her, "Don't cry, I've already eaten it."
His tone sounded somewhat helpless, yet very soft and slow, as if he was comforting Wen Ruan.
"...Wen Heng, if you were in his shoes, what would you think? He wouldn't think I was crying because I loved him too much and didn't eat the cake I happily left for him, right?"
Wen Heng looked at the rising favorability, "..."
"Male protagonist's favorability +10, current favorability 45."
"Uh, Wen Ruan, I need to say something, did you guess it right?"
It was obvious. Wen Ruanruan heard the system's response and tears streamed down her face. She looked at Xie Jinzhi with tears in her eyes. Qian Duo whispered something in his ear, and finally Qian Duo pushed him again. He stood up and wiped his tears with a tissue.
Li Yi: “!!!”
Song Song: “???”
Only Qi Luan had a calm expression. He watched her crying and sat beside her, laughing secretly.
