Then, as expected, Shen Shi heard Liu Yiyi say to him in a sweet, cloying voice, "Shen Zhiqing, I heard you fainted in the fields today. Are you alright?"
After speaking, he looked at Chen Shi with concern.
His expression and tone were completely unnatural; the performance was blatantly obvious. It was exactly as he had imagined, and a sense of speechlessness flashed through Chen Shi's mind…
As the innocent and kind-hearted female protagonist in the original book, Liu Yiyi's character was naturally well-developed.
If Shen Shi didn't know how the plot would unfold, even if Liu Yiyi wasn't his type, he wouldn't dislike her.
But having already learned about his past life, Shen Shi felt utterly disgusted by the culprit who had caused his tragic life.
Even though Liu Yiyi hasn't done the same thing as in her previous life, Shen Shi, preconceived notions, didn't want to reply.
However, in order to maintain his image of being gentle and polite, Shen Shi gently shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
Perhaps Shen Shi's reaction was too indifferent, or perhaps it was necessary for the plot as the female lead.
Liu Yiyi's eyes immediately reddened, her eyes brimming with tears that seemed about to fall, making her look pitiful.
As expected of the female lead, her tears come so easily!
Now the performance is 30% less contrived; the Oscars owe you a golden statuette.
But he's not the male lead, and he didn't say anything harsh, so why resort to this tactic?
When I felt inexplicably depressed, I decided to ignore it.
Having just finished eating and watched Liu Yiyi's performance, Chen Shi got up to leave.
At that moment, Wang Gang, a devoted admirer of Liu Yiyi, was furious to see his goddess being wronged.
He stood up abruptly and shouted at Chen Shi, "What's wrong with you? How could you bully Liu Zhiqing?"
This shout successfully drew the attention of everyone in the courtyard.
Everyone looked puzzled, except for Liu Yiyi's best friend Li Fang, who seemed to have caught the scoop.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
However, something even more awkward happened next.
At this moment, Deng Jie, the male lead, pushed open the door.
But after Deng Jie pushed open the door, he didn't come in directly. Instead, he looked Shen Shi and Liu Yiyi up and down with sharp eyes.
Wang Gang looked at Liu Yiyi with deep affection, Liu Yiyi looked at Deng Jie in shock, and Deng Jie looked at Shen Shi angrily.
Only when I look up at the sky and down at the ground do I realize how incredibly awkward I feel.
But seeing the intense emotions of the three of them, Chen Shi felt that perhaps his own threshold for embarrassment was too low.
He didn't actually have anything going on with Liu Yiyi, so why make it seem like he was caught cheating?
Besides, being around the male and female leads in the future, such awkward scenes will inevitably happen frequently, so you'll have to get used to it.
He tried to comfort himself in his heart when he felt down.
However, he couldn't leave now and was forced to stay put, watching the heart-wrenching love story between the male and female leads.
The male protagonist, Deng Jie, spoke first: "It looks quite lively. I didn't hear clearly who was bullied by Liu Zhiqing just now."
Although it was a question, his tone was cold, and he stared straight at Liu Yiyi, demanding an explanation.
"It's nothing... I'm fine. No... no one bullied me. It's just that Shen Zhiqing is sick and I was asking her. Wang Gang was just too anxious, that's why he said that."
Seeing Deng Jie's indifferent attitude, Liu Yiyi panicked. She was really anxious, and she started to stutter. Her expression was particularly flustered and helpless.
However, Deng Jie, the male lead, remained unmoved and continued to press Shen Shi, asking, "Is that so, Shen Zhiqing?"
His tone was full of provocation, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Shen Shi.
For a moment, Chen felt like he'd been screwed over; how come everything involved him?
Why don't you ask Wang Gang? You're crazy!
Not wanting to say anything more to Deng Jie, Shen Shi glanced at him indifferently and said, "If Deng Jie is really too concerned about Liu Yiyi, he can ask her directly."
"Oh? Of course I'll ask her. But I also want to hear what Shen Zhiqing has to say. From what Wang Gang said, you bullied Liu Zhiqing?"
Feeling that his relationship with Yiyi was being questioned, Deng Jie deliberately showed affection towards Liu Yiyi.
Finally, they didn't forget to provoke the sinking.
Although Shen Shi really didn't want to get involved in this love triangle where he loved her and she loved him.
But since Deng Jie had already said all that, everyone in the courtyard was now looking like they were watching a juicy spectacle.
When you're feeling down, it's pointless to get involved with them anymore.
If this matter isn't clarified in front of everyone today...
After that, the rumors will take an unpredictable turn, and one's situation will become even more passive.
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. Now that this farce has begun, we should make the most of it.
So they simply went with the flow and made Deng Jie's relationship with Liu Yiyi public, letting Wang Gang and Deng Jie fight it out.
After a moment's thought, Shen Shi spoke sternly, "I also want to know the answer to Deng Zhiqing's question. Wang Gang, I also want to ask you, how did I bully Liu Zhiqing?"
This time, he didn't even call Wang Zhiqing by name, but called him by his full name, which showed that he was really angry.
“At that time… Liu Zhiqing kindly asked you… but you didn’t answer, and Liu Zhiqing even cried, so I… that’s when I spoke up.”
Now that Wang Gang's initial rage for a woman had subsided, he was speaking somewhat haltingly.
But she still tried to remain calm and straighten her body as much as possible.
Okay! I was still blinded by great love.
To make Wang Gang's love life smoother, Shen Shi decides to help him recognize his true enemy.
