Chapter 11: Is it really for me?
There was no one behind them.
Realizing he was being tricked, Jiang Yue was furious, "You lied to me!"
Song Lehan rubbed his red wrists, cursing Jiang Yue's ancestors in his heart, but still negotiated with him without changing his expression.
"I just called her name and you got so scared. If I really told her everything, do you think you could make her change her mind as you said?"
She looked down at her wrist, which had a red mark with some purple bruises, and frowned.
"You haven't changed Ye Shuqing's mind yet, how can you change your mind in the future?"
Song Lehan raised his eyes, softened his tone, and continued the negotiation: "I'm not threatening you, I just want you to understand that we are cooperating on equal terms."
"I need money, and you need Ye Shuqing's affection. We each get what we need, and we can win together through cooperation. That's all."
Jiang Yue seemed to think what she said made sense and put away his furious look.
He raised his hand and gently lifted a strand of hair from Song Lehan's forehead, saying in a light tone, "But you still have to listen to me."
"After all, when I go crazy, even Ye Shuqing can't stop me."
Song Lehan shuddered.
She had seen Jiang Yue go crazy, and it was indeed... scary.
"I'll do as you say," Song Lehan stepped back, creating some distance, "but please don't use my dad to pressure me anymore."
The atmosphere relaxed, and Jiang Yue's gloomy face began to smile again.
"Lele, you're quite cute like this."
Jiang Yue turned around and warned before leaving: "Next time, don't let me catch Qingqing alone with him."
"knew."
After Jiang Yue left, Song Lehan went into the room again and "chatted" with Ye Shuqing for a few words before leaving.
I received a notice on the way that there was a party at 8 o'clock.
Song Lehan didn't know what the production crew was up to, but seeing that the people he lived with had already started to dress up, he naturally couldn't dress too ordinary.
After thinking about it, she took a shower and skillfully put on heavy makeup.
At eight o'clock, Song Lehan arrived at the playground on time.
She found a place to sit down and saw Ye Shuqing had also arrived. He was wearing a simple military training uniform without a trace of dress-up.
The program crew fiddled with it for a while, and after turning on the headlights, they got down to business.
"First of all, let us applaud these seven brave men! They were willing to cut their hair and resolutely stay here to continue their training. This spirit is truly rare!"
Song Lehan's mouth twitched, and he mechanically followed in clapping.
"Alright! After all these days of training, everyone still hasn't had a chance to introduce themselves. Now, the microphone is up to you."
At the director's signal, the first person to be introduced was Ye Shuqing.
She greeted the camera generously with a bright and cheerful smile. Although she was not wearing any makeup, she did not look haggard at all, and even made people feel that she was approachable.
"My name is Ye Shuqing, I'm an actress, you can call me Qingqing."
"It was a coincidence that I joined this show. I accepted a role as a soldier, so I wanted to come here to get a feel for it and get into the role better..."
Ye Shuqing seemed to have said a lot, but it didn't take long before it ended.
Song Lehan couldn't listen. She kept thinking about what to say when it was her turn.
After thinking about it over and over again, her mind kept repeating the same idea.
She came because of Xu Jiangcuo.
In this way, he could not only express his concern for Xu Jiangcuo in public, but also contrast himself with Ye Shuqing.
One is because of love, the other is because of career.
In today's era, the latter is definitely more worthy of praise and affirmation.
Thinking of this, Song Lehan unconsciously looked towards Xu Jiangcuo, his eyes flashing.
he...
Never mind, it's not that important.
"The next one is...Song Lehan."
Under the curious gaze of everyone, Song Lehan stood up and slowly walked to the middle.
"Hello everyone, my name is Song Lehan."
At this point, she suddenly paused, deliberately looked at Xu Jiangcuo, and continued, "It's not because I'm brave that I'm able to stay."
Everyone followed Song Lehan's gaze, and the moment they saw Xu Jiangcuo, they all made ambiguous sounds at the same time.
Xu Jiangcuo automatically blocked out the people around him and just stared at the person standing in the middle, his Adam's apple rolling as he waited for her next words.
"But, there is someone I like here. For him, I want to stay here."
Song Lehan's voice trembled uncontrollably, and the hand holding the microphone also shook uncontrollably.
She swore that this was not an act.
She was really nervous.
Even more nervous than my first kiss.
Song Lehan swallowed, clenched his fingertips, and his mind suddenly went blank.
Seeing this, the people below started to make a fuss.
"Oh~ Are you going to confess your feelings?!"
"No way, the Gossip Princess also has a day of pure love?!"
"Is this true? Did you break up with your last boyfriend?"
Rather than being a commotion, it was more of a question to Song Lehan.
Sentence after sentence, as if they had been pre-determined, without any regard for Song Lehan's face.
Song Lehan shook his head helplessly, his eyes wandering around, finally landing on Xu Jiangcuo.
He sat in a corner, out of tune with the laughter around him.
The two looked at each other from a distance, and the air between them froze.
Suddenly, Ye Shuqing rushed in front of Song Lehan and broke off the eye contact between the two.
She snatched the microphone from Song Lehan's hand and kindly excused her: "Everyone, don't say that!"
"Le Han and I are classmates, and she's not like what everyone says. Although she did some wrong things in college," Ye Shuqing paused deliberately, glanced at Song Le Han, and continued, "But now, she's really taking filming seriously."
"Please believe her!"
As the words fell, the discussion around them became louder.
Song Lehan stood there, feeling out of control suddenly coming over her in a trance. There was a lot of noise in her ears, and when she listened carefully, she heard it was all insults directed at her.
As her vision blurred, she saw Xu Jiangcuo stand up.
Amidst the clamor, he left quietly.
With a "bang", the string in Song Lehan's mind completely broke.
The familiar feeling came over me again.
She pinched her arms uncontrollably, using the pain to relieve the discomfort in her heart.
But this is far from enough.
Song Lehan took a deep breath, looked at Ye Shuqing with red eyes, turned around, and ran away in a panic.
The entire base is so large that in addition to the training ground, there is also a dense forest.
Song Lehan stopped by a tree, her chest pounding so hard she couldn't breathe. It felt like there was a sponge in her throat, choking her.
She held onto the tree trunk and slowly squatted down.
She rubbed her hands on the rough bark, and the slight pain relieved the discomfort she felt.
Realizing this, Song Lehan put the back of his hand against the tree trunk and rubbed it up and down vigorously.
Tears mixed with pain fell from my eyes, and the unbearable curses still lingered in my ears.
Her illness relapsed.
