"It's yours, isn't it?"
The man's voice was tinged with laughter; though it was teasing, it possessed a captivating charm that was so gentle it was impossible not to be drawn in.
Luo Jiu had already given up on herself. After all, she had already embarrassed herself so many times, and it was wishful thinking to still want to leave a gentle and intellectual white lotus persona in front of the male lead.
"Oh, thank you."
She scratched her head and took the room key from Shen Jinchen's hand.
With a "beep", the door opened.
The moment Luo Jiu entered, she saw the man still leaning against the doorframe, his dark eyes full of interest.
"Okay, fine. It was indeed me at noon. I went to the wrong room, I'm sorry, you don't mind, do you?"
Luo Jiu looked slightly helpless and embarrassed, but still maintained a generous and confident demeanor, her bright eyes gazing at him with sincerity.
However, her hand gripping the door kept clenching and unclenching, clearly indicating that she was extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Jinchen has been in this industry for so many years. Actors often wear a mask, whether on screen or in real life; they are all skilled actors. Including himself, he is a skilled actor.
After seeing it too many times, you gradually start to get annoyed.
When I met Luo Jiu at noon today, I was immediately struck by her beauty. Even in the entertainment industry, where beauties and handsome men abound, Luo Jiu's appearance, though without makeup, was the most captivating.
But afterwards, all I felt was disgust. Before and after becoming famous, countless female celebrities have openly or covertly created scandals and paired up with other celebrities to gain attention and generate buzz. This woman was no different, only her methods were a bit more sophisticated.
But now, Shen Jinchen has changed her mind. This is hardly a cunning, greedy woman.
Mingming is just a reckless, foolish girl who gets sold out and then helps the seller count the money.
Now, his gaze towards Luo Jiu softened somewhat.
After being in this circle for so long, I can hardly tell what's real and what's fake anymore.
Seeing his gentle gaze, Luo Jiu was captivated by his smile and completely seduced by his good looks. It was like the braised pork belly she had for lunch, sweet and comforting, making her speak without thinking.
"The stir-fry at noon was delicious. Especially..."
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Jiu suddenly covered her mouth. Her eyes were full of embarrassment as she looked at Shen Jinchen.
My goodness, what did I say? Why was I so cheeky? I got the benefit and I'm still acting innocent. If I hadn't reminded you, this matter would have been slowly forgotten, and your path to winning over the male lead would have been spotless.
It really is delicious.
Chen Jinchen laughed, his laughter magnetic, his voice teasing as if whispering softly in your ear.
"Especially braised pork belly, right?"
Luo Jiu's face was as red as a boiled shrimp. She didn't dare to look at Shen Jinchen even once, and slammed the door shut.
Shen Jinchen stared at the closed door, his smile widening, even his eyes sparkling with joy. He hadn't been this happy in a long time.
Thankfully, no one passed by on this floor. If Chen Jinchen's fans had seen their idol being locked out by a woman and even laughing happily, their hearts would probably have been broken.
The brother she cherished so dearly was locked out by another woman. Is this a sign of distorted humanity or moral decay?
The next day, Luo Jiu got up very early. Before leaving, she made sure to check everything to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything.
Although I lost all face yesterday, I don't want to experience the feeling of digging a hole and burying myself in it again.
Yesterday we finished filming the Yueqin's flashback scenes, and today's episodes will all be set in brothels.
Assistant Lili received Shen Jinchen's autograph yesterday and is still in a daze. She took a picture and saved it in her album, taking it out to look at it from time to time, and also praising him to Luo Jiu.
Luo Jiu couldn't hold back any longer and poked her head with her finger. "Lili, didn't you say you liked me the most?"
"He fell in love with another man in the blink of an eye, what a heartless man!"
Upon hearing this, Lili quickly grasped Luo Jiu's hand and explained, "No, no, no, it's true love for my sister, and faith in my idol!"
Luo Jiu: "..."
Oh, that makes sense. I can't even refute it.
Luo Jiu sensed something unusual as soon as she stepped onto the set. Although she had only been there for a day, everyone seemed to be subconsciously ignoring and avoiding her.
With limited funds, the crew only had two dressing rooms. Luo Jiu arrived after breakfast, which wasn't very early anymore.
There was an empty seat in front of them, and Luo Jiu was just about to sit down when a woman took her place.
That's Liang Mengshi, the actress playing the second female lead in the drama.
"Excuse me, it's my turn for the next scene. I need to get my makeup done first. I hope you don't mind."
The woman's voice was gentle and soft as she apologized, but she didn't seem to feel any remorse at all. Ignoring Luo Jiu's thoughts, she called the makeup artist to apply her makeup.
The makeup artist was the same young girl from yesterday. She glanced at Luo Jiu with a hint of apology in her eyes.
Luo Jiu smiled at her, waved her hand good-naturedly, and sat down next to her.
Lili was furious at the sight. She was about to retort when Luo Jiu grabbed her wrist. She had nowhere to vent her anger.
"Does having a big name mean you can bully people like this? I've seen it for myself today."
Luo Jiu patted her head without saying anything.
Like the original owner of this body, Liang Mengshi debuted in a girl group. Although she has a baby face and presents a pure, cute, and girl-next-door persona, she is actually quite spoiled and has a princess complex that is completely pampered.
The first person the original owner of this body disapproved of upon her arrival was her. Not to mention, she overheard the boy she had a crush on confessing his feelings to Luo Jiu, and the jealousy she felt burned like fire in her heart.
From then on, he opposed the original owner in every way. No matter how harmonious and close he appeared on the show, he was just as cold and disgusted behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, Luo Jiu was unable to retaliate because the original owner's "vase" persona had relegated her to the lowest tier of fame. Meanwhile, Liang Mengshi, with her sweet and charming appearance and cute, soft voice, quickly won over a group of fans.
They debuted in the same group, but two years later, their status is worlds apart.
"I really don't know why Sister Liu hasn't given up on you yet. Your acting is so awkward it's practically overflowing from the screen, yet she still managed to get you into the cast."
At this point, Liang Mengshi turned to look at Luo Jiu: "Did you give Liu Zhen some benefits? Tell me, I want to learn too?"
To everyone's surprise, Luo Jiu seemed not to hear, not even raising her head, and continued to stare at the marked parts of the script.
Liang Mengshi felt awkward. Why wasn't Luo Jiu arguing with him like before, all after two or three months apart?
But I hate it even more now.
