Shi Xi excitedly swiped open her phone, only to find the group chat eerily quiet.
He opened Weibo, refusing to believe it, but the trending topics were still the same as always.
He refreshed the page twice.
The interface remains unchanged.
We're too early; it seems Qin Huaixi hasn't made a move yet.
He opened WeChat and found that the phone had vibrated earlier because of a message from Lin Zeran.
There are more than a dozen.
Most of the pictures are of Lin Zeran in bed and on the sofa.
Lin Zeran wore pure black cat ears on his head and tailbone, and a fluffy tail with a slightly curled tip.
It looks like he's playing a cat-eared boy.
He was wearing a black leather jacket and suit pants, with a black leather choker around his neck. He sat on the front of the bed, his hands supporting him on the white bed sheet. He leaned back, lazily crossed his legs, slightly raised his chin, and looked at the camera with an arrogant expression.
Its unruly demeanor made it look just like a noble cat master waiting for its owner to stroke its fur.
It was as if it were saying, "What are you looking at? Come and serve me! You're so stupid!"
Amused by the scene she had imagined, Shi Xi burst out laughing.
The contrast between Lin Zeran's obedient and well-behaved demeanor and this expression is striking and perfectly captures his charm.
...
Lin Zeran remained expressionless, automatically ignoring Zhang Jiayi's incessant complaining.
"Do you even realize how capricious your behavior of disappearing all the time is? Let's not even mention last time, just look at this time. Luckily, Director Sun isn't one to hold grudges, otherwise you'd definitely be trending on social media for all the wrong reasons!"
Lin Zeran, with an air of 'I won't listen to your nonsense,' opened WeChat and found that Shi Xi hadn't replied to her message yet.
Is the banquet still going on?
Did they go directly to a hotel after the banquet?
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Zeran frowned so deeply that he could have crushed a fly. His already unpleasant expression became even more unpleasant, and he gripped his phone so tightly that his fingertips turned slightly white.
Seeing Lin Zeran's expression, Zhang Jiayi knew he hadn't listened to a word he said, which made her even angrier.
She walked over, intending to express her dissatisfaction again, but then noticed the picture of the cat-eared boy on his phone and asked in surprise, "Huh? When was this picture taken? I didn't know about it!"
Upon hearing this question, Lin Zeran raised his head with a dark expression, gave her a tacit glance, and said, "You've crossed the line..."
These are his private photos. Without his permission, not even his agent has the right to view them.
Zhang Jiayi immediately understood his meaning, touched her nose, and awkwardly changed the subject, "...My schedule has been quite tight lately, and some dates have clashed and can't be rescheduled. What are you planning to do?"
Lin Zeran snorted coldly and said, "Throw all of Xiao Wanjun's resources back to him." Let him spend all his free time bothering Brother Jiang.
"Huh?" Zhang Jiayi wondered if she had misheard. "Give it all back to Xiao Wanjun?"
Lin Zeran said with a sour face, "It was originally his problem, I've already done so much for him."
He already had plenty of resources, and with Xiao Wanjun's resources being forced upon him, he became even busier, with almost no time to rest.
That's incredibly exploitative; even a donkey wouldn't do that.
Xiao Wanjun isn't dead, so let him do it.
It would be best to kill him.
"...What about President He?" Zhang Jiayi asked anxiously, her heart pounding.
Lin Zeran gritted his teeth: "I don't care if he dies." That viper did it on purpose!
"..." Zhang Jiayi wiped her face. "Alright, little darling, whatever you say."
The company's exploitation of the company as the contract was about to expire was truly excessive.
Moreover, she felt that President He giving all of Xiao Wanjun's resources to Lin Zeran, regardless of whether it was appropriate or not, was not like he was promoting him, but more like... deliberately keeping him too busy to spare.
After Lin Zeran finished speaking, he couldn't hold back any longer and stood up to go outside to call Shi Xi.
...
Just as Shi Xi was about to admire the eighth photo, the phone rang.
The caller was Lin Zeran.
Shi Xi pressed the answer button, "Lin Xue... Ze Ran, is something wrong?"
"Brother Jiang, is the banquet over?"
"?" Shi Xi wondered, pulling the phone further away. Was the phone broken? Why did Lin Zeran's voice sound so gloomy...?
"It's over." Shi Xi glanced at the suit hanging on the coat rack. "I'm already home."
"Is Brother Jiang home alone?"
"Of course," Shi Xi said.
I thought to myself, isn't it scary to be home alone with only half a person?
He then realized that he was afraid that Xiao Wanjun would do something inappropriate.
How is that possible?
"Brother Jiang, have you seen the photos I posted? Should I take this role?"
Shi Xi opened WeChat, scrolled to the bottom of the photo, and indeed there was a piece of text.
Because there were too many photos, they weren't displayed on the screen, so he didn't see them earlier.
Lin Zeran asked him whether he should take on the role of the cat-eared seme, and also asked him what he thought about homosexuality.
"I've seen it." Shi Xi thought for a moment and said, "I think this role suits you quite well; you can take it."
"Hmm." Lin Zeran's tone was noticeably happier. "Brother Jiang, don't you dislike homosexuals? I thought you would."
"I don't dislike him. I like a man." Shi Xi took the opportunity to reveal her true feelings.
"So, what does Brother Jiang think of me? I happen to like men too."
Shi Xi said, "Then you should be able to play this role well."
"Brother Jiang said he has a man he likes, so are you two together?" Lin Zeran asked with a smile. "I can't even imagine who's so lucky to be with Brother Jiang."
"Yes, we're together."
"..." After a moment of silence, the person on the other end said, "I'm going to get back to work now."
"Brother Jiang, bye-bye~"
Then, without waiting for Shi Xi to speak, he hung up the phone.
'Bang--'
The room door was suddenly flung open.
Zhang Jiayi looked at Lin Zeran, whose expression had become even more unpleasant after he went out—
"What, is your crush getting married?"
Lin Zeran said bitterly, "Brother Jiang was violated by wild dogs!"
Zhang Jiayi: "..."
Well, Xiao Wanjun has offended him again.
...
Shi Xi clicked her tongue as she looked at the phone that had just ended, then glanced at the time; it was already 10 p.m.
The group chats and Weibo remain calm, just as they were before.
Shi Xi frowned slightly, and the trending topics were refreshed again, but nothing changed.
"What's going on with Qin Huaixi? Why isn't he making a move?"
999 also realized something was wrong and hurriedly checked what was going on before returning a while later.
[It was detected that the other party was preparing for bed and had no intention of clarifying things for Xiao Wanjun.]
Shi Xi's expression changed abruptly. She sat up abruptly, pulled out a business card from her suit jacket, pointed at it, and fiercely reprimanded it:
"Qin Huaixi, your wife is almost giving you a negative opinion, how can you sleep?"
I ask you, how do you manage to sleep at such a young age?!
Shi Xi: I hate everyone who doesn't follow the plot equally! o(￣ヘ￣o)
How can this not be considered treating everyone equally?
