He helped her sit up, and meeting the little woman's frightened and wary eyes, Zhou Cheng smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not a tiger that eats people, why are you so afraid of me?"
Qiao Nansheng thought to herself: You may not eat people, but you'll bite people at the drop of a hat!
The image of him pinning her down on the bed and kissing her passionately that day is still vivid in her mind, like a high-definition, uncensored video. It lingers in her mind, and every time she sees him, it automatically replays in her head.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Cheng laughed again, feeling quite helpless. This girl, whatever she was thinking was written all over her face, she didn't hide it at all.
It's better to just say it directly.
He sighed, and under Qiao Nansheng's gaze, bent down and slowly approached her, gently pouting his lips to kiss her fair and smooth cheek.
Goodnight, Nansheng.
Zhou Cheng spoke in a gentle voice. After speaking, he patted her head, and looking at her dazed expression, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a deep smile suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He didn't linger and turned to go upstairs again.
This time he didn't stop or turn back halfway; he went straight upstairs.
Qiao Nansheng sat there blankly, staring at Zhou Cheng's disappearing figure. She reached out and touched the spot where he had kissed her; it was still warm and hot.
He just came over and kissed her, and she didn't dodge?
Where did the psychological trauma I was promised go?! It's vanished!
Oh, beauty really does lead you astray! I was so focused on looking at his face and his smile that I completely forgot I should have avoided him.
Qiao Nansheng rubbed her burning cheeks, recalling the look Zhou Cheng gave her before leaving, a look full of tenderness and doting, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
Oh my god!
He suddenly spoke and smiled so gently at her, and with that handsome face... how could she resist?!
You see, she's completely smitten with Zhou Cheng. Whether he's a domineering CEO or a male god, she can't help but fall for him every time he smiles.
If things continue like this, she feels that she will eventually be completely conquered by him.
[So what if you take it over? It won't cause any problems. You two are a married couple, like an old married couple.] Xiao Ai's voice rang out.
Qiao Nansheng gripped her phone tightly, her cheeks flushed—what nonsense about being an old married couple! I'm divorcing him! I don't want to spend my whole life with him!
Thinking of the domineering CEO in the drama, whose methods were incredibly cruel and who even sent her to a mental hospital, Qiao Nansheng couldn't help but shudder.
[Qiaoqiao, I'm not trying to be mean, but given the current situation, it's impossible for you to divorce Zhou Cheng. Do you want him to pin you down on the bed and rub you hard? Like, you can't get out of bed for days and nights.]
—Please, please shut up! What kind of nonsense are you spouting!
[To be honest, considering how fiercely he kissed you on the bed the other day, and how angry Zhou Cheng got when you mentioned divorce twice, I think it's unlikely you're truly determined to divorce him. Be careful, Zhou Cheng might turn evil, and you'll have no hope of surviving.]
—Does this mean I really have to be with him for the rest of my life? He's so unpredictable, he acts one way in front of others and another way with me. What if I do something wrong and he gets angry and throws me into the sea to feed the sharks?
This is not Qiao Nansheng's fault. Zhou Cheng's portrayal of the domineering CEO in the novel left a deep psychological scar on her, so even though she knew that the Zhou Cheng in front of her was different from that Zhou Cheng, she still couldn't help but feel afraid.
Moreover, the two Zhou Chengs are essentially the same in terms of personality; one simply knows how to feign gentleness in front of others, while the other is straightforward and doesn't feign it.
Moreover, Qiao Nansheng always felt that Zhou Cheng in the male god was even more difficult to deal with than Zhou Cheng in the domineering CEO. People who can pretend are terrifying in their true colors.
If she really angered him, she felt that he wouldn't hold a funeral for her like in those domineering CEO stories, but might just leave her body in the wilderness for wild beasts to devour.
Imagining his own corpse being devoured by wild beasts in the mountains, Qiao Nansheng felt his limbs turn ice cold.
[Qiaoqiao, calm down, don't overthink it! It won't happen! Don't forget you're the female lead now; you have the female lead's halo. Even if someone gets fed to a shark, it'll be someone else, not you.]
—Your comforting words did nothing to help; in fact, they made me even more afraid.
Xiao Ai is definitely on Zhou Cheng's side! She claims to be a fan, but she's actually Zhou Cheng's fan. She's spoken up for Zhou Cheng a few times before, and she's already figured it out!
[Cough, Qiaoqiao, don't be like that. You have to believe in yourself. If you successfully win over Zhou Cheng and gain all his favor and true love, your female lead aura will be even stronger. You can do whatever you want to him. Maybe he won't turn evil. At most, he'll just get angry and then pin you down on the bed and do this and that, right?]
—Stop talking, the more you talk, the more I feel like what you're saying is all a lie.
OK, Xiao Ai, shut up.
Qiao Nansheng sighed, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "So, should I take this role? Zhou Cheng already brought it up, and I quite like the character Qingniang. But, is it appropriate for a newcomer like me, who hasn't even debuted yet and only participated in a talent show, to take on such a big role right at the start?"
Moreover, she felt immense pressure acting alongside Zhou Cheng.
Both on and off screen, she is his woman, but off screen she is his legal wife, and his only one; on screen she is one of his concubines.
Although this concubine was the most favored, she was also the only one among all the female characters in the show to survive to the end.
What intrigued Qiao Nansheng even more was how Zhou Cheng could be so certain that she would like the role.
When he made her read the script, he was certain she would fall in love with the role of Qingniang, which is why he forced her to read it. But how could he have known?
She was different from Qiao Nansheng in her idol's world. Even though she had been in this world for more than three months, the Qiao Nansheng he knew was the one from before, not her.
She felt something was off, and despite trying hard to recall, she couldn't remember giving anything away to Zhou Cheng.
[That's easy. With your terrible temper, how could you possibly tolerate being insulted? Qingniang has a tragic past; her entire family was wiped out by the female lead, and she became the male lead's concubine while constantly on guard against the female lead taking him away. How pitiful! Viewers would feel sorry for her.]
That's true, but why is he so sure I'll agree?
She told Zhou Cheng she'd think about it some more, but she already had an answer in her heart.
Qiao Nansheng would go to great lengths to get what she liked, whether it was a person, an object, or anything else. And when something she liked was offered to her, how could she possibly let it go?
[Perhaps you've been observing very carefully? After all, your changes are so drastic; anyone would become suspicious. Only a simple-minded girl like Liu Xu wouldn't overthink it and genuinely believe you're his wife.]
