Chapter 3 The Substitute White Moonlight (Part 3)



"...Now let's welcome the ballet performance of 'Swan Lake' with applause!"

As the curtain rose, a dozen girls dressed in white ballet costumes were already in position on the stage. With the melodious sound of the violin, the dancers on the stage began to dance gracefully like little swans.

It must be admitted that the girls from Kyoto Film Academy are exceptionally beautiful. They look even more exquisite and lovely in their pure white ballet costumes, a feast for the eyes.

Even so, her beautiful and refined face and graceful figure still made Tang Ning seem like a swan princess who had fallen into a flock of ordinary swans.

The moment she turned around and the stage lights shone on her face, almost everyone in the audience, regardless of gender, gasped or exhaled softly, as if afraid that a loud exhale might scare away the swan fairy on stage.

Sitting in the audience, having seen countless beauties, Fu Yinze, who had always been smiling, couldn't help but deepen his eyes, and his fingers on the armrest began to tap lightly and slowly. Those who knew him knew that this was a sign that Fu Yinze was interested in something or someone.

He developed a strong interest in the beautiful little swan on the stage.

Only after the dance ended and Tang Ning went into the dressing room did 54088, who had been holding back for the entire dance, finally shout excitedly.

"Tangbao, Tangbao! It's gone up, gone up so much! Fu Yinze's favorability just jumped from 50 to 70. He's the person whose favorability has increased the fastest so far. Tangbao, you're amazing! He was sitting in the audience and staring at you the whole time. He seems very interested in you. It looks like we can win him over in one fell swoop!"

54088 rubbed his hands together in anticipation.

Tang Ning, who was changing clothes, just smiled when she heard him say that, without replying, leaving the little system excitedly to the side.

After changing her clothes, Tang Ning reached out and gently flicked her finger across its face.

"Take him down in one fell swoop? You're overthinking it..." she laughed.

"Yes, is there a problem?"

54088 covered her cheek, which had just been flicked.

"Yes, of course there are. You may not know that there are some people whose feelings come and go quickly. Their liking is cheaper than grass. They can like you today and like her tomorrow. They can spoil you, indulge you, cherish you, and hold you in the palm of their hand. They are willing to give you whatever you want, but there is one thing they will never give you, and that is—their heart."

Tang Ning's lips curled into a wide smile.

"People are selfish, and Fu Yinze is the epitome of selfishness. The reason he ends up with Ye Xi is because she proved how much she loved him with her life, which moved and satisfied him, yet he still didn't fall in love with her. He only felt that he was so outstanding that she had to prove herself to be worthy of him. With love, the more you give, the more you want in return. But what did Fu Yinze give? A big-budget movie? High-end endorsements? A few sweet words? Ha! Those things represent liking, but not love! To him, they were insignificant!"

At this point, Tang Ning reached out and rubbed the somewhat bewildered little hamster ball.

"The current level of favorability doesn't mean anything..."

"I want his heart!"

Upon hearing this, 54088, who had been somewhat bewildered, suddenly brightened up.

Boss, boss, I think I've managed to get on someone's good side!

At this moment, Fu Yin, still sitting in the audience, was watching the male-female duet performance in front of him, while several leaders were chattering away. How could the president of Genji Entertainment, who was visiting Kyoto Film Academy, not be accompanied by school leaders?

However, at this moment, Fu Yin's attention was neither on the program in front of him nor on the leader beside him, but was still savoring the amazing dance he had just performed.

Unfortunately, before he could savor the moment for long, the vibration of his phone pulled him back to reality.

"Feel sorry."

He smiled apologetically and walked out.

After receiving the call, he knew that his plan to get to know the girl he had just met better was ruined, as he had company business to attend to.

There was nothing he could do but greet the school leaders who were accompanying him and ask his driver, Xiao Liu, to come and pick him up from the auditorium.

On the other side, Tang Ning, who hadn't waited for Fu Yinze, also didn't intend to stay any longer under the sarcastic and sarcastic verbal attacks from the group of ballet dancers.

After packing my things, I gave the senior student who was in charge of coordinating the school anniversary performance a "good guy" card and started walking out.

Fu Yinze didn't expect that, just as he was about to leave, he would see the little swan again, dressed in casual clothes and wearing headphones, standing at the bus stop at the school gate waiting for the bus. He was just about to ask the driver to take the bus over when he saw the little swan board a bus that had stopped in front of her and sit by the window.

Not only that, after the car started, he also saw her give up her seat to a frail old lady.

Fu Yinze's lips curled up slightly upon seeing this.

At the crossroads, the light is red.

The two cars stopped side by side, and as if by some strange impulse, Fu Yin rolled down the window.

Then he saw the little swan, who had been smiling and talking to the old lady sitting next to her, suddenly light up. She squeezed to the window, but the window wouldn't open. Frustrated, she kept gently patting the bus window and saying something anxiously, but no one could hear her.

Seeing this, she hurriedly walked towards the bus door in front.

Unfortunately, before she could reach the car door, the red light turned green, and both cars started moving together.

Unable to get out of the car, Tang Ning could only wave vigorously at him and keep making apologetic gestures, which made Fu Yin almost burst out laughing.

The driver, Xiao Liu, looked at his boss's smiling face in the rearview mirror with surprise, and deliberately glanced at the bus on the side of the road, pretending not to care.

Unfortunately, the car had already driven away, and he saw nothing but the rear of the car.

Meanwhile, inside the bus, 54088, taking advantage of the fact that no one could see or hear it, had already started dancing around Tang Ning.

"It went up another 5 points, Tangbao, Tangbao, we're rich!"

In this joyful atmosphere, the one-person-one-system returned to the 90-square-meter space.

Inside the house, the slightly congealed dishes and melted cake on the white dining table still stood there quietly.

Seeing this, Tang Ning walked straight to the dining table.

"No, Tangbao, these dishes are cold and won't taste good. The cake is also scrambled. Don't eat them and get an upset stomach."

The little system quickly grabbed her clothes.

Hearing this, Tang Ning smiled and said, "Who said I was going to eat these?"

"and you……"

"I just feel that since the original owner has already done it, we might as well not waste it!"

Tang Ning took out her phone.

54088: "???"

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Hotel.

Having just received Ye Xi's birthday wishes, Fu Yuankai returned to his room filled with excitement and anticipation. When he felt his phone vibrate, he took it out and saw the name Tang Ning displayed on it.

He frowned slightly, but still swiped to unlock his phone.

Then I saw—

The photo shows a table full of dishes that have solidified and a birthday cake that has almost melted.

There was another sentence following it.

Tang Ning: Why aren't you back yet? I've already taken a nap and haven't had dinner yet, I'm so hungry. Are you very busy? Are you tired? If you're too tired, you don't need to come back, anyway, you can't eat all this food and cake. It's such a pity, I couldn't celebrate your birthday with you, but I ate the cake for you. I hope everything goes smoothly for you, Yuanbao, and all your wishes come true.

Yuanbao was the nickname Tang Ning gave him when they first got together.

Buzz—

WeChat rang again.

This time it was also a photo, but it was of Tang Ning herself. Perhaps because she had just woken up, her hair was slightly messy, her bra strap had slipped down to her shoulder, and her face was flushed with a faint pink, probably because she had just woken up. There was a smear of white cream on the tip of her nose, whether she hadn't noticed while eating the cake or what.

As he watched, Fu Yuankai's brows slowly relaxed, his eyes softened unconsciously, and he began typing on his phone.

Yuanbao: Yeah, I'm a bit busy here, so I won't be going back tonight. You should get some rest. Don't eat the cake if it's melted, or you'll get an upset stomach.

He paused slightly after typing this sentence, then added another sentence.

Yuanbao: I'll go back tomorrow if I'm free. I'll go to bed early.

Meanwhile, 54088 watched helplessly as its host went through a series of actions, from taking photos to putting on makeup, changing clothes, messing up hair, smearing cake on face, and sending WeChat messages. Then, it received a notification that Fu Yuankai's favorability rating had suddenly increased by 3 points while it was still in the hotel. It felt as if its knees were about to make intimate contact with the ground.

Tang Ning sent a WeChat message with a slight smile on her lips.

Tang Ning: Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to come back! Good evening!

As soon as she finished posting, she casually tossed her phone aside and glanced at the hamster ball next to her, whose face was flushed with excitement because it was afraid of disturbing her.

"Your favorability rating has increased?"

"Mmm!"

54088 nodded hurriedly.

"Alright, this is nothing. The real trouble will come when Fu Yuankai comes back tomorrow!"

"Um!"

The system nodded enthusiastically.

It felt that being number one in performance was beckoning to it.

Ahhhhh, Tangbao, I love you for ten thousand years!

The next morning, after getting up, Tang Ning called a cleaning lady; she didn't want to clean up at all!

She got up, went for a run, and bought her favorite breakfast. After returning home and eating, she started getting ready.

Everyone is a visual creature, especially since Fu Yuankai works in the entertainment industry, a place teeming with handsome men and beautiful women, so his eyes have long been spoiled.

Look at what the original owner did every time the other person came back. Hmm, she cleaned the house spotless, the floor was so clean it could be used as a mirror, decorated it in a warm and beautiful way, and cooked a few of his favorite dishes, keeping them warm in the warmer cabinet so that he could have a hot meal when he came back.

She was wearing a long, cotton dress that looked like a cylinder, not showing any waistline at all, and it was also very old and had no other advantages except that it was very comfortable to wear. Her hair and body smelled of cooking oil, she didn't wear much makeup, just lipstick, and her hands were even less cared for, with a few hangnails on her fingers.

Even natural beauty shouldn't be wasted like this.

Compared to Ye Xi, who is in the entertainment industry and is meticulous from head to toe, isn't she just insignificant?

It's really hard to know what to say about her. Does she really think you two are living like an old married couple? Even old married couples get divorced!

The little girl is so innocent, naive and adorable.

After Tang Ning had everything ready, as evening approached, the weather seemed a bit off. The clouds were dark and the sky was getting very dark, looking like it was going to rain.

Even so, it was around 5:30.

The door was still opened from the outside by swiping a card.

Tang Ning turned her head and saw—

Standing outside the door, a man wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a fisherman's hat had huge purple characters above his head.

Fu Yuankai.

System score: 96.

Favorability: 68.

This is after the increase in goodwill; it's still not as high as Fu Yinze's, whom he's only met twice!

Ugh, what a scumbag!
