Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Magical Girl
Ji Hanxi couldn't remember how the conversation with him ended today. When he returned to the dormitory, he was still in a daze.
"Baby, do you want to take a shower? If not, I'll go first!" Minmin asked her while taking her clothes.
"Well, you wash first."
Ji Hanxi lay on the table, staring at the backstage profits.
At this time, a message popped up on WeChat. I clicked on it and saw that it was from a rich second-generation.
"Hanxi, why did you suddenly go offline today? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine."
"Oh, I actually wanted to give you a gift today, but Vivienne's sudden action confused me, so I didn't have time to do it."
"fine"
In fact, she was also confused and hasn't recovered yet.
"By the way, don't be angry with Vivienne. He might have gotten jealous because I came to your livestream, which is why he did all this. Did he scare you? I know he gave you the gift with the intention of humiliating you, but he was just so angry that he did this. Don't be angry with him."
"Well……"
If giving so many gifts is a humiliation, then let the humiliation be even more severe!
"Hanxi, there's something I need to tell you. My family is sending me abroad in a few days... They think I'm not doing my job properly, so they're forcing me to study management abroad. They're also saying they're going to cut off my internet access and have someone monitor me because I've spent too much money on influencers. Oh my god! I'm 30, how could they do this? Do they really think I'm a child?"
"Um"
"Why are you so cold today? You don't even try to comfort me? If I lose my internet connection in the future, it'll be hard to chat with you. Aren't you sad? Won't you miss me?"
The rich second generation loved the emotional value they received from Ji Hanxi. In the past, the ones he'd met were either patient but not pretty enough, or pretty enough but impatient. Someone like Ji Hanxi, who possessed both, was a rare combination. He confided in her, and she consoled him; it seemed like a habit. Today, her sudden coldness made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Study hard"
Day Day Up
"..." Ahhhhh he doesn't want this kind of comfort!
After finishing the chat with the rich second generation, my roommates just came back from taking a shower.
Ji Hanxi also took her clothes and went to take a shower. The water splashed over her body, finally making her mind a little clearer.
She suddenly felt that she didn't need to be so entangled. If she couldn't figure it out, she could figure it out later and let things take their course. If he really had some bad intentions, she could wait and see how he dealt with them.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, she opened Crush's WeChat again, and the chat interface was still stuck at a few days ago.
Ji Hanxi stared at the screen, wanting to send a message, but after writing and deleting, he didn't know what to send. Finally, he threw the phone aside and went to sleep with the quilt under his arms.
Forget it, let’s post it tomorrow. There’s a shoot tomorrow, and it’s a good opportunity for her to try out her new green tea tactics.
But this mixed-race handsome guy is really something. If she doesn't send a message, won't he take the initiative to contact her? So cold? So passive?
It was only today that Ji Hanxi discovered that there was a bit of a mean streak in his character.
She would ignore those who pursued her passionately, but she would be completely fascinated by those who were close yet distant.
The next day when I opened WeChat, I didn’t receive a message from Crush, but I received one from Vivienne instead.
"Transfer: 10000"
I'm not live streaming today
"I'll give you the money."
“…”
Ji Hanxi's originally drowsy sleepiness was instantly awakened, and she stared blankly at the content and amount above.
She suddenly remembered what he said in the live broadcast room last night, that rich second-generations would not be allowed to appear in her live broadcast room in the future, and he would make up for the missing money.
I thought it was just a casual remark, but I didn't expect the other party to keep his promise. Even if he didn't do a live broadcast today, he would transfer 10,000 yuan to her.
She can't accept this money.
If it was another big man or rich woman who transferred money to her, she would probably accept it. But this person was Vivienne, and she had always targeted the annoying Vivienne. She had never provided him with anything, so how could she accept his money?
Yesterday's gift giving was already unexpected, so she definitely wouldn't click on this transfer today.
She pretended not to see it and waited for it to be returned on its own when the time came.
Ji Hanxi had a filming today. She took a taxi to the company. While in the car, she felt her phone vibrate slightly. She picked it up and saw that it was a payment from Alipay: 10,000.
There is no need to click on the payment button on Alipay, the money can be transferred directly to her balance.
The transferor's nickname was the last thing she wanted to see... How did he know her Alipay account? Did he memorize her phone number? Or did he ask someone?
What should she do now? Should she transfer the money back to him? Would that be a bit too much?
According to the TV series, she should have thrown a wad of money in his face, letting it fall like flowers from the sky, and then said stubbornly: "Take your dirty money! I don't want it! Do you think I, XXX, can be bought with money?"
However... she was no innocent, and he was no overbearing CEO. She was just a scheming, money-loving, green tea girl, and he was her mortal enemy, a sworn enemy who loathed each other.
It seemed a little strange that he transferred money to her. Ji Hanxi decided to go to the company to find him in person and talk things over directly, and not transfer money to her anymore.
If he transferred money to her... she would be too embarrassed to scold him or target him in the future...
When she arrived at the company, she didn't see Vivienne. Instead, she saw Paipai, Xiaomu, and the others coming to her with equipment. "Hanxi, you're finally here! Let's go, let's go shoot today's script!"
I promised them a collaboration today. Since Vivienne is not in the company now, I will go with them to shoot first and come back to see him after the shooting.
The makeup is still the same as last time, a cat girl in a pink and white maid outfit.
Her previous cameo only appeared in a few frames, but the glimpse was most stunning. The comment section responded enthusiastically, and people asked for her to return every day.
So today, at the invitation of Paipai Xiaomu, I made a guest appearance again to increase the popularity of both parties.
Last time, her role was too minimal, and she didn't add any attributes at all. This time, she has more scenes, and her character is more specific, as she's the kind of 2D sharp-tongued pretty girl who would yell at otakus like "damn scumbag," "Go to hell," and "You're a dead end."
This character is derived from the characteristics of her account, and is essentially a mean green tea.
Ji Hanxi also played the role with ease, and even the arrogance of belittling otakus was portrayed very well.
"Cut! Very good, very good, very good, the acting was really great!" As the filming ended, everyone's praises rang out.
"Haha, as long as the material can be used, thank you everyone, it's a pleasure working with you." Ji Hanxi retracted his slightly raised chin and bowed to thank everyone.
She touched the cat ears on her head, looked at her skirt, then walked over to Paipai Xiaomu and asked:
"Sister Xiao Mu, do you have time now? Can you take a picture for me?"
"Of course, what kind of photos do you want to take?"
Ji Hanxi took out his mobile phone, turned on the camera, switched to live mode, and handed it to Paipai Xiaomu.
"Little Sister Mu, stand further away and zoom in twice. Place the horizontal lines on the grid at my eyes, and shoot the lower part above my knees. When I run towards you later, keep pressing the camera button and take hundreds of pictures."
"Okay, okay, I got it, let's get started."
Ji Hanxi ran towards Paipai Xiaomu from a distance, running in a twisted and pretentious manner.
However, the weirder the pose, the more abnormal the photo; the more abnormal her running, the more normal the photo.
Paipai Xiaomu did as she instructed, pressing the camera button continuously and taking hundreds of photos of her.
After running back and forth several times, Ji Hanxi felt that he had taken enough photos, so he thanked Paipai Xiaomu and took his phone back.
She found a shady spot and began to sift through the photos. She discarded blurry ones, ones that were out of frame, ones with poorly controlled expressions, and ones where the hem of the skirt didn't rise to the right angle.
After sifting and sifting, only two pieces remained. Although these two pieces were few, they were of very high quality.
One photo was taken when she was running over. Her skirt was fluttering, her long hair was flying, and the scattered sunlight was scattered in her hair, making people feel that every hair was glowing. Coupled with her bright and smiling eyebrows, she looked extremely vivid and full of life!
In the other photo, she is close to the camera. She raises her arm and bends her fingers, pretending to pounce like a kitten. Her makeup and styling today match this pose perfectly. Moreover, because it is a candid shot, it looks very dynamic, and her vitality and agility are about to overflow the screen!
She looked at the two photos with satisfaction, then sent them both to Crush and asked:
「If you post it on Moments」
"Which one is better?"
After Ji Hanxi sent the message, she quickly turned off the screen without waiting for the other party to reply. She wanted the other party to reply, but she was afraid that the other party would reply.
What she fears is that the reply content is not what she wants, and what she fears even more is that the other party does not care about her at all, and no reply is his reply.
She was full of confidence before posting, and felt that every photo looked good. But after posting, she started to feel anxious, and felt that both photos were not good-looking. She should have edited them carefully before sending them to him.
What should I do now? I can't retract it. He's probably seen it now. How will he feel? Will he laugh at me? Will he think these two photos are ugly? Will he think her way of attracting others is childish and clumsy?
Ji Hanxi held the phone, ready to turn on the screen to see if the other party had replied.
A low laugh came from not far away, and she turned to look over.
She found Vivienne standing at the door with her arms folded, looking at her. There seemed to be a smile in her eyes, but she didn't know what she was laughing at.
She had been looking for him for a long time in the morning but couldn't find him, and now he suddenly appeared without her finding him.
Ji Hanxi thought he was a strange man, walking without making any sound, like a ghost. She didn't know how long he'd been here... She probably hadn't noticed his contrived running posture when she took the photo earlier, had she? It would be too socially disastrous if she'd seen him.
"Teacher Vivienne, I just happened to need you for something."
"Um, what is it?"
He walked over to her and sat on a chair not far from her.
"Teacher, this is the transfer you made, right?" She opened Alipay and put the transfer page in front of him.
"Well, yeah," he admitted without hesitation.
"You...why did you transfer money to me? You shouldn't transfer money to me. It's weird for you to do that."
"What's so strange about that? You should know the reason for the transfer, and I don't want to repeat it a second time."
"I can't accept your transfer, so I'm transferring the money back to you now."
"You transfer it to me, and I transfer it to you, back and forth. It seems troublesome and pretentious. What's so unacceptable about that? If someone you hate transfers money to you, it's their property they lose, shouldn't you be happy? Or... is it because you feel bad for that person, because you feel bad for them spending money on you, that you can't accept it?"
“…How is this possible?!”
Ji Hanxi's finger paused on the screen, shaking with anger. How could she feel sorry for him? Was she crazy?
"That is to say, if you hate it so much, why bother about how much money the other person spends on you? Um... or do you just not like money?"
“…”
Like, like, she likes money. She can't survive in this world without money.
"If you like it, just accept it with peace of mind. Since it's given to you, it's yours. You've gotten revenge on the person you hate, and you've also gotten the money you love. What's there to be entangled about? What's there to be unhappy about?"
"you……"
Ji Hanxi couldn't refute this twisted logic. It was true, if the so-called annoying person he mentioned wasn't himself, everything would make sense. But now that the so-called annoying person was himself, everything seemed very strange.
"If you transfer the money back to me, I'll assume you feel bad that I spent money on you."
“…” Ji Hanxi exited the Alipay interface.
Vivienne couldn't help but smile as she watched her actions.
When Ji Hanxi returned to the content department, she mentally persuaded herself: "Since everyone involved said so, just accept it with peace of mind. What's the big deal? His willingness to spend money is his business, and her ability to earn it is her ability."
Vivienne's appearance disrupted her desire to flirt with Crush. After returning to her room and calming down for a moment, she suddenly realized she hadn't read his reply yet.
She quickly took out her phone, clicked on WeChat, and found that Crush had responded within a minute after she sent the photo.
The reply was two words: "Kitten"
Ji Hanxi was a little confused when she saw the reply. Why was it different from what she expected? But it wasn't a bad reply either.
"Um"
"It's a kitten."
"Which one is better looking and more suitable for posting on WeChat Moments?"
"cute"
"like"
He didn't answer her question, but instead replied with two words like this. Ji Hanxi looked at this reply and her face gradually turned red and hot...
This... why doesn't this person play by the rules?
According to her assumption, he should choose the previous or next picture. No matter which one he chooses, she will post the one he didn't choose on her WeChat Moments. When he asks her about it, she will say that since you think this one is beautiful, I will only show it to you, thus teasing him.
But the person on the other end didn't choose what she expected. Instead, they replied with these words. What did they mean? Was it what she expected?
Kitten, cute, like it.
Is it because she is as cute as a kitten that he likes her? Or is it because she put on makeup today and looks like a kitten, and kittens are cute, so he likes kittens?
Although both sentences are composed of these words, their meanings are very different. One means I like her, and the other means I like cats.
What exactly did he mean? It was so hard to guess... She didn't dare to ask directly, for fear that her question would mean something different from what she thought, which would make her seem narcissistic and embarrassing.
How could this man be so scheming? Saying such ambiguous words made her anxious and worried. How abominable.
The most abominable thing is that she…she just fell for it. A man's heart is like a needle in the sea. The more difficult a man is to understand, the more attractive he is. Damn it. When Ji Hanxi returned to the dormitory, she was still thinking about the other party's reply. Before going to bed at night, she looked at these words, and the more she read, the more she liked them, and the happier she became.
I hope I can have a dream about Crush tonight, with him and myself in the dream...
Ji Hanxi did have a dream that night. The dream was strange and contained complex elements.
In her dreams, she is a magical girl and the guardian of Kasukabe City in Saitama Prefecture.
The outfit after the transformation is exactly the same as when he guest-starred as Paipai Xiaomu, the pink and white maid outfit, the star-shaped magic wand, and even the white cat ears on the head are completely replicated.
The slight difference is that in the real world, the cat ears are wearable props, while the cat ears in the dream grew out of her own body, and they would shake constantly whenever she was nervous.
Like the magical girls in anime, she has a special mascot by her side, a small ball with wings, who calls himself her teacher and comrade.
In addition to partners, there are naturally enemies.
The enemy in her dream was a demon so terrifying that he could destroy the entire world. He was cruel and vicious, and countless predecessors had suffered miserably at his hands.
As the only survivor and the last magical girl, she has a heavy responsibility on her shoulders.
When Ji Hanxi saw the enemy in the legend, he was stunned.
Champagne-colored hair, black high-heeled leather boots, snow-white skin, and a slender figure. Her face was covered by a mask, so her specific features could not be seen, but from the exposed pointed chin and perfect lips, it was vaguely discernible that she was an extremely beautiful woman.
In her dream, she felt that this person looked familiar, very familiar, extremely familiar. But even though he looked familiar, she couldn't remember who he was. Her memory was like being covered by a veil, blurry and unclear.
The enemy could neutralize all her attacks with just a wave of his hand.
He looked at her as if she were a clawless pet cat challenging him, smiling with arrogance and contempt.
The magic elf who was assisting him originally wanted to attack from behind, but he flicked his finger and sent him flying, like a meteor across the sky, disappearing without a trace.
Ji Hanxi was clearly aware that the opponent's power was terrifyingly strong. He was terrified and took several steps back.
"Ah... damn magical girl, do you know how expensive this dress is? You'll have to pay for it."
He stroked the inconspicuous scratches on her sleeve with his slender fingertips and uttered these words, moving closer to her.
Ji Hanxi's magical energy has been completely exhausted. She was forced into a corner, closed her eyes, clenched the scepter, and dared not face the other party's revenge.
The captured magical girl would probably have a miserable end. Would she be tortured to death... she thought fearfully.
He moved closer to her, close to her, his warm breath surrounding her. His long, soft hair drooped down, gently brushing against her cheek, bringing a tingling sensation.
Ji Hanxi stretched out her hand and pressed it against her chest, trying to push him away, but he didn't move at all and even moved closer.
Just when she thought something terrible was going to happen, the white, slender hand reached over her head, touched her head, and rubbed her cat ears.
"Kitten..." He whispered the word softly, leaning over and kissing her trembling ear, "...cute, I like it."
The last two words were spoken very softly.
But it was enough for her to hear.
…
Ji Hanxi was awakened by the fright. This dream was a nightmare for her.
Especially after she woke up and suddenly realized who the person in her dream looked like, the nightmare became so terrifying that it couldn't be more terrifying.
She...she...how could she dream about him?
She should have dreamed of Crush, not that person... Could it be that because she was in contact with both of them at the same time during the day, she mixed them together in her dream?
Oh my god! How could this be possible? She felt that this mixture would taint Crush!
She should be dreaming of love and affection with Crush, instead of having such a strange and scary dream.
The wet heat that Vivienne felt when she kissed her ear for the last time in her dream was as real as if it happened in real life. Even though she had woken up now, she could still feel the residual heat there...
She shook her head, trying to drive the feeling out of her mind.
When she woke up, she looked at the time and found that it was only 4:30, but she was no longer sleepy, so she simply sat on the bed and waited until dawn.
At 6 o'clock, she found that her mobile phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw that another 10,000 yuan had been deposited into her Alipay account.
Looking at the source of the transfer, everything in the previous dream suddenly resurfaced, especially the last kiss on the ear... soft, intimate, and smiling.
She hugged her knees, buried her face between them, and screamed silently.
Ahhhhhh——!
Help, help, help, someone please save her!
Why did she have this dream? Why did she dream of someone she hated kissing her? Was she mentally ill? How would she face him when she got to the office?
This was definitely not her dream... She didn't want to admit it, and she didn't want to admit it. She wouldn't have such a dream, and the person she was thinking about day and night was not him.
When Ji Hanxi went to the company, she wanted to ask for leave for a moment. After all, the psychological shadow caused by the nightmare was too great, and she was afraid that seeing him would deepen the impression.
But then I thought about how I had to balance school and work, and I didn't go to the company very often. If I had the time but didn't go, wouldn't that delay another day of filming and affect the team's progress?
Helplessly, she still had to go to the company, but fortunately she was no longer in the same team as him, so the probability of meeting him would be much smaller.
"Hanxi, the boss is looking for you. He said there is something important." As soon as she arrived at the company, an assistant came to remind her.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"The boss is on the 13th floor, not in the office. Don't go to the wrong place when the time comes."
“…”
The 13th floor, isn't that Vivienne's area?
She was still hoping for a lucky break in the morning, thinking she might not be able to meet him, but she didn't expect him to be hit hard now.
Ji Hanxi took a few deep breaths and followed the instructions to the 13th floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he heard a conversation coming from inside.
"Don't step on my carpet with your outdated Louis Vuitton."
"Hey! These shoes of mine cost 160,000 yuan!"
"It was a discontinued model last year. The style was so ugly that it became a stocking and no one wanted it."
Vivienne's tone was as vicious and harsh as ever, and she didn't change even when she was talking to her boss.
"You, you, you... you're really sick! You said before that shoes priced under five figures weren't allowed on your carpet, and now you're going even further, demanding not only the price but also the latest style and fashion? Tsk! You're really sick! No one will ever be able to tolerate such a disgusting temper. A lonely life is your best outcome!"
Ji Hanxi listened to the voice inside and suddenly remembered that stepping on the carpet was also a memory she didn't want to recall...
