"What do you want to know? Wouldn't it be better to ask me yourself?"
Shen Jinchen appeared behind the two of them at some point, looking at Luo Jiu with a smile on his face.
Luo Jiu was somewhat surprised, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at him.
This is what it feels like to be caught red-handed talking badly about someone behind their back. It's incredibly thrilling.
"Xu Xi?" Shen Jinchen's tone remained gentle as he looked at Xu Xi and continued:
"Can I borrow Luo Jiu for a moment?"
"Oh, okay."
Oh my god! My crush talked to me and even called my name!!!
Xu Xi was completely bewitched by Shen Jinchen, so much so that she couldn't even tell which way was which, her mind a complete mess. She didn't even have time to think about what Shen Jinchen meant by those words.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Jinchen gave Luo Jiu a look, and she followed him without even realizing it.
Chen Jinchen has a dedicated RV so he can relax properly during breaks on set.
He opened the car door and gestured for me to come in and have a seat: "Would you like to come in and have a seat?"
At this point, Luo Jiu had given up thinking and sat down in despair.
Chen Jinchen poured her a glass of iced lemonade. Although autumn had arrived several times, the lingering warmth of summer still enveloped the earth.
Turning on the air conditioning and sipping iced drinks is truly a wonderful way to spend the summer. Indeed, the wealthy are different.
"Is it good?"
Shen Jinchen asked with a smile, his deep eyes flashing with an expression that Luo Jiu couldn't understand.
"Mmm, it tastes good."
"How does it compare to the braised pork from that day?"
Luo Jiu: "..."
Seeing Shen Jinchen's teasing expression always made Luo Jiu unable to resist tearing off his gentle and refined mask.
What is this? He's clearly a cunning and ruthless wolf in sheep's clothing!
"Do your fans know about this?"
Luo Jiu asked quietly, her words full of complaints.
"Hmm... I don't know, maybe."
Shen Jinchen seemed to be in a good mood. After the usual sense of alienation faded away, what remained was Shen Jinchen in his daily life.
He was lazy, gentle, and had a touch of mischievousness.
Yet, without exception, they are all even more captivating.
Luo Jiu tried hard to suppress the pounding of her heart, picked up the lemonade beside her and unconsciously took two quick sips.
Shen Jinchen stared at the cup Luo Jiu was drinking from, his eyes unconsciously narrowing.
"What...?"
"Um?"
"fine."
After saying that, the smile on his lips only widened.
Luo Jiu looked at him with some confusion. What was wrong with this person?
Suddenly noticing the cup in her hand, she couldn't help but blush.
Oops, I grabbed the wrong cup.
Looking at the red lipstick mark on the cup, Luo Jiu felt like digging a hole and burying herself.
What does it feel like to get caught doing something wrong?
Luo Jiu was so embarrassed she was about to have a stroke.
"Hehe, this...this..."
She took out a tissue and wiped away the surrounding red marks, then carefully put it back in its original place.
"Just pretend this never happened."
After saying that, he didn't dare to look at Shen Jinchen's face, opened the car door and fled in panic.
"Luo Jiu".
Luo Jiu, who had only taken two steps, almost wanted to bang her head against the wall when she was called back. This "tea" from Chen Jinchen was indeed not good.
"Didn't you want to know whether I went that day or not?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiu stopped in her tracks.
"I went."
Back on set, Luo Jiu's blush hadn't faded. If anyone saw her, they'd think she'd done something in Chen Jinchen's car.
The words Chen Jinchen had just spoken involuntarily echoed in my mind.
“I went that day. But you have to believe that the decision to cast you in this role was unanimously made by the directing team.”
Your acting is superb, really.
My goodness, this male lead is such a charmer!
Even the old lady Luo Jiu, who has traveled through several worlds, couldn't withstand Shen Jinchen's attacks, and her heart rate still wouldn't slow down.
In the evening, Luo Jiu finished work and returned home from the film set.
The newly rented apartment is quite close to the film set, and it's also very convenient to get to by subway.
Lying on the soft quilt, Luo Jiu finally felt truly alive again. A day's work was truly exhausting; having traversed several worlds, all living the life of a lazy bum, Luo Jiu, a complete slacker, hadn't yet adjusted.
Only when the night was deep and quiet did Luo Jiu have the mind to think about the things that had happened during the day.
Suddenly, Shen Jinchen's smiling face kept popping into his mind, and he couldn't shake it off no matter what he did.
As the male protagonist of this world, Shen Jinchen naturally had the system's cheat code, making him the most refined and otherworldly of them all. However, Luo Jiu was more concerned about his attitude and tone towards her, which always seemed overly intimate and gentle.
This made Luo Jiu even more itchy, wanting to know whether Shen Jinchen's affection for her was genuine or if he had ulterior motives.
-007, 007. I want to know how high the male lead's affection level is now?
[Ding! The system is currently undergoing an upgrade and cannot be recognized...]
What entered her mind was a formatted, mechanical voice, which made Luo Jiu feel both scared and frustrated.
"ah……"
She buried her head in the blanket again and let out a helpless cry.
This feeling of being both close and distant is like being shrouded in a thin layer of mist; the answer seems so close, but when you reach out to grab it, you find nothing there. It's incredibly frustrating.
Feeling extremely frustrated, Luo Jiu rubbed her hair and decided to go to the balcony for some fresh air.
As soon as you lift the curtains, you can see an extremely bustling night view and... the living room next door.
Yes, the living rooms of the two houses are connected by balconies, and these balconies are interconnected. As long as you draw back the curtains, you can peek into the other's private space.
To Luo Jiu's surprise, the neighbor next door, whose lights had been off for two days, finally welcomed its owner.
The living room next door is decorated in gray and white, and looks very simple and elegant.
However, Luo Jiu felt like she had seen this combination somewhere before.
Before Luo Jiu could figure it out, the curtains next door were drawn back, and a tall, slender man carrying a watering can came out.
The cool moonlight shone down on his head, casting a white halo. The man looked up at him, his eyes crinkling with amusement, showing no surprise whatsoever.
"Good evening."
Luo Jiu: "..."
Luo Jiu remained expressionless, taken aback by the unexpected turn of events. However, inwardly, she couldn't help but complain.
What if you live across the hall from the person you're trying to woo?
The unspeakable stories between me and my target.
I think you're trying to seduce me, and I have evidence.
If you were to ask Luo Jiu what she thinks right now, just look at her expressionless face; she almost threw a "heh" in your face.
So Luo Jiu calmly pulled the curtains back up, pretending nothing had happened and she hadn't seen anyone, and lay back down on her soft bed.
