Chapter 42
"I...well, let Ranlong tell you."
"Why are you being so shy? It's just a rehearsal. What's there to be embarrassed about? You've been hiding it, and I thought we were having an affair!" Ranlong saw that Yuan Chengyin was a coward, so he took over the conversation consciously.
Qiu An was alert: "Rehearsal? Which scene?"
"What kind of play can you possibly be in? Just do whatever you're going to perform later. What does it have to do with you? Why are you being so gossipy?"
Ranlong was annoyed by Qiu An's sullen face. She wasn't afraid of Qiu An glaring at her, as it wouldn't really hurt her. With so many people watching, could Qiu An still throw chicken soup at her or slap her?
Besides, didn't Yuan Chengyin himself say that he liked someone but it wasn't Qiu An? Wouldn't it be better to let Qiu An give up on this idea early? It's not a good idea to keep someone hanging all day and not talk about it.
"Isn't she the director? She doesn't discuss the scene with you, but instead acts against you? I'm your opponent. If you have a scene you want to act against, why don't you come to me?"
"So what if I'm acting against the director? No matter how well we perform, she'll still have the final say on whether we're good or not. We're all actors here. Why should we care about who our opponents are when we're just acting? If I can find you, I can find Yuan Chengyin. Even if I ask Sister Hou for help, that's only natural!"
Sister Hou was chewing on a chicken leg when her name was inexplicably called. She pointed at herself with her free index finger and asked Ranlong with her eyes: "Me?"
Ranlong rolled his eyes at her as he saw that her face was covered in oil but her brain was not working well after eating.
Ranlong launched into a small outburst of rage, but Qiu An still raised her eyebrows and refused to give in. The atmosphere remained tense for a moment, and Ranlong had no choice but to say, "Then I can ask Sister Hou for help next time, okay?"
A gleam of light flew towards Sister Hou.
Sister Hou received the threatening signal, and before she knew where it came from, she instinctively waved her hands in refusal: "No, no, no, no, I can't act. Ranlong, you should find someone else, not me!"
Ranlong rolled her eyes again. Could she have some backbone? Why did Qiu An show off her power and everyone kneeled down? Did he really think she was the emperor?
Besides, if she couldn't find Yuan Chengyin, what was wrong with finding Sister Hou?
"Hey, Qiu An, it's not a big deal. We're all still eating. Stop being unreasonable."
Ranlong never thought that one day it would be her turn to say such words to Qiu An.
But that's Qiu An, the calmest, most rational, and most composed of them all! Love-crazy people are really harmful!
"That's right, stop being unreasonable." Yuan Chengyin agreed in a low voice, and Qiu An glanced at her.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Qiu An's attitude softened, and Ran Long and Sister Hou instantly felt that the air in the room was circulating normally, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Sissi was different. She had been with her boss for a long time and knew that a normal boss would not let things go so easily if they encountered something related to Ranlong.
Someone is dying.
I am the one who is going to die. Yuan Chengyin also knew in her heart that there was still a disaster in her life to go through.
really.
When she returned to the hotel and was about to open the door, Yuan Chengyin discovered that her key card was missing. Just as she was about to call the police, the door opened and she was pulled in by a hand with well-defined joints and skin so smooth that many people would dream of licking it.
Yuan Chengyin put his hands together in front of him, as if praying to Buddha. Without waiting for the person in front of him to speak, he said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! I'll tell you the truth about whatever you want to ask. If I tell even the slightest lie, I'll be struck by lightning!"
Qiu An said coldly: "Not enough. Keep increasing the bet."
"I'll never be able to catch up with Yao Ling in this lifetime!"
"Okay. Tell me why Xiaoran is looking for you and what she wants you to do. Tell me everything you know. The more details the better."
Yuan Chengyin cleared his throat and said cautiously, "She came to me this afternoon and said she wanted to find the same feeling... in the script... in me..."
"What feeling did you get in that script?"
"That's it, the intimate scene?"
"Intimate scene. Go on." Qiu An said in a cold tone with a blank expression.
Yuan Chengyin's heart died. She closed her eyes and swallowed twice before she could speak: "She asked me to take off my clothes, and then I took them off, took them off, took them off..."
"How much did you take off?"
"No, not everything! Just my T-shirt! Keep everything you need to wear on!"
Yuan Chengyin opened his eyes a crack, secretly observing Qiu An's reaction. Qiu An's face remained expressionless, but his aura was so fierce that it seemed as if he had chopped her off a thousand times.
"continue."
These two simple words made Yuan Chengyin want to kneel down in front of her.
"She said she didn't feel anything, then asked me to take a shower and spray your perfume. Still no feeling, so she left. That's it, really. She didn't feel anything at all and said she didn't like me anymore. Please stop being jealous, okay?"
"Why did she take my perfume?" Qiu An said, more like talking to herself.
Yuan Chengyin's desire to survive was overwhelming, and he immediately thought of the best way to please Qiu An: "Maybe she just likes you? I thought it was the perfume, so I borrowed it and tried it, but it turned out it wasn't the perfume."
Qiu An glared at Yuan Chengyin, his tone slightly angry: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Think about it, do my words make sense? Anyway, since you like her so much and can't stand her being flirtatious with other people, why don't you just pursue her? I don't think she really dislikes you. If you try harder, maybe it will work out."
"Don't mind your own business."
Fierce as hell, Yuan Chengyin thought. Love-sickness is truly detrimental.
"She's quite insensitive, so I advise you to hurry up and confess! When her popularity rises, more people will pursue her boldly. If someone else accidentally pursues her, what will you do? Will you keep trying to break them up?"
"Am I that kind of person?"
Yuan Chengyin shook his head, but thought to himself: Aren’t you?
"Also, what does 'accidentally being chased away by someone' mean? Is Xiaoran such a casual person?"
"My great aunt..."
-
After Ranlong returned to the hotel, he suddenly felt craving for a popsicle, so he went downstairs to buy one. When he returned, he happened to see Qiu An coming out of Yuan Chengyin's room.
She took a step back and hid in the corner, silently and secretly observing the movements of this love-crazed man.
Ranlong noticed that Qiu An seemed to be in a good mood. She had a smile on her lips and her eyes flickered, as if she was feeling happy and shy about something.
Ranlong also saw Yuan Chengyin sighing and closing the door with a tired and helpless look on his face after Qiu An turned and left.
Ranlong thought as he sucked on his popsicle.
No way.
Would Qiu An run into the room and forcefully kiss Yuan Chengyin?
Damn it, this is definitely sexual harassment in the workplace!
Ranlong's sense of justice suddenly explodes, and she is determined to save Yuan Chengyin from this dire situation and bring down Qiu An, the devil with a beastly heart!
After Qiu An returned to his room and closed the door, Ran Long strode to Yuan Chengyin's room and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Yuan Chengyin was really exhausted. She didn't want to answer the door and just wanted to lie down on the bed and have a good sleep. However, the person who came was very aggressive and looked like he was going to break in at any second. She dragged her tired body to the door, but she didn't dare to open it rashly. Instead, she opened the peephole.
Sure enough, there was someone she couldn't afford to offend standing outside the door.
Ranlong was facing Yuan Chengyin's room, but his eyes were fixed on Qiu An's door, looking alert.
"You, you, you..." Yuan Chengyin was really scared. "What are you doing here again? Go back to your room. Don't come to visit me all day long!"
"Don't be afraid, I'm Ranlong! Can you open the door first?"
"I know you are Ranlong! Please, just go back to your room, okay? No, don't come to visit me tonight, no, this week, no, from now on, okay?"
The more Yuan Chengyin avoided seeing her, the more it sounded to Ranlong.
Ranlong patiently coaxed her: "Open the door first, we can talk slowly, I will help you!"
"There's nothing to say between us! You'd be doing me a favor by not coming here again!"
Seeing that Yuan Chengyin really refused to open the door, Ranlong had no choice but to take out his phone and send a message to Yuan Chengyin:
Super Heroic Villain: Did Qiu An do this to you?
Super Heroic Villain: Are you okay? Don't be depressed!
Super Heroic Villain: Do you need legal assistance? I can help you!
Yuan Chengyin turned on his buzzing phone and felt a surge of helplessness. Legal aid or something was definitely necessary.
I Will Get Rich OVO: It's nothing, really. We just chatted for a few minutes. Go back and get some rest, because you have to get up early to film tomorrow.
Seeing that he couldn't get any information from Yuan Chengyin, Ran Long took a few deep breaths, plucked up his courage, and walked to Qiu An's door.
Before she could knock on the door, Qiu An opened it.
"What's wrong?" Qiu An asked her. The woman's cheerful expression had faded somewhat, but it hadn't completely vanished. Seeing her inexplicably abnormal appearance, Ran Long felt a little frightened.
But she couldn't be afraid! It was worth it to stand up for her friends!
Ranlong stepped into Qiu An's room, closed the door, and asked, "What were you doing in Yuan Chengyin's room just now? Did you..."
Qiu An interrupted her: "I didn't do anything, you misunderstood."
"Don't interrupt me! I misunderstood you again. Why do I misunderstand you two every day? Impossible, I don't believe it."
Qiu An patiently explained, "She told me about your casting call. I came back after I found out. Nothing happened, don't worry."
Ranlong, half-believing and half-doubting, chose to warn: "I'm telling you, don't think you can do anything to her just because you've... slept with her! No matter when, no matter what kind of relationship you've had in the past or what it is now, before you... do anything to her, you have to ask for her consent!"
This time, Qiu An listened patiently to what Ran Long had to say. She frowned slightly, as if she was carefully considering what Ran Long said.
After a while, she said, "I didn't sleep with her."
"Oh, you're doing this again!" Ranlong was getting a little angry. "Anyway, don't bully Yuan Chengyin. I will keep an eye on you. If necessary, I will call the police! Remember?"
Ranlong's threats did not scare Qiu An. She seemed to be in an absurdly good mood. After hearing Ranlong say that he was going to call the police, she actually giggled.
"Okay, then you have to keep an eye on me."
"You!" Faced with the shameless Qiu An, Ran Long was speechless.
I thought this was the limit of Qiu An's behavior, but I didn't expect her to be even more shameless. "By the way, if you feel unsure about acting out those intimate scenes, you can come to me first. Do you want to stay here tonight?"
"Who wants to stay here?"
After saying this, Ranlong quickly opened the door and left the room.
The more you look at Qiu An tonight, the more obscene he becomes.
It was not advisable to stay here for long, so she decided to slip back to her room.
