Finished
Another thunder exploded.
Shao Zizhuo walked in, smiling: "Who are you calling a street vendor?"
Guan Shanyue's heart skipped a beat. The call hadn't lasted half an hour, and her performance hadn't even started yet. She felt helpless, her mind in a mess. It was over, she was going to be electrocuted again.
"You're humiliating me just by answering a phone call. This is the first time I've heard you're so uneducated." Shao Zizhuo said calmly, "Guan Shanyue, I'm leaving."
Guan Shanyue was stunned for a moment, then caught up with Shao Zizhuo with her bag in hand.
The door to the private room closed behind them, and a long silence fell inside. After a long moment, Zhao Yi said absentmindedly, "It's over. Shao Zizhuo is serious this time."
Guan Shanyue walked crookedly in her high heels. Seeing that she was not keeping up with her, Shao Zizhuo deliberately slowed down his pace.
Another burst of electricity passed through the body, and the system prompted: "Please pay attention to activate the torture point."
Guan Shanyue was caught off guard by the sudden electric current and fell to the side. She subconsciously closed her eyes, but unexpectedly felt the gentle muscle lines.
When she opened her eyes, she half leaned on Shao Zizhuo. Shao Zizhuo's arms supported her and prevented her from falling to the ground. He looked helpless: "If you can't wear high heels, just wear flat shoes in the future."
Shao Zizhuo hesitated for a moment and comforted her, "Don't take what they said today to heart."
The system's boost tone sounded simultaneously with the electric current: "There is a slight deviation in the plot. Host, please correct it in time and activate the first torture point."
Okay, now I have to correct the plot myself.
Guan Shanyue twisted her ankle gently to make sure it wasn't sprained. "If it was Yuan Wangshu who was humiliated like this today, would you still say that?"
Such an assumption was a bit absurd. Shao Zizhuo said puzzledly: "They are friends, such a thing should not happen. Besides, I can't interfere in what happens between them."
Guan Shanyue smiled dejectedly, "Because she has the Yuan family behind her, no one dares to bully her. And I'm just a bankrupt, parentless, and broke."
Shao Zizhuo's eyebrows were twisted into the shape of the word "chuan".
Guan Shanyue took a few breaths, gently pushed Shao Zizhuo away, stumbled twice, and then stood still. She smiled and asked, "Shao Zizhuo, I want to ask you a question today. Can you really tell the difference between me and her?"
She pointed at her face, stepped closer to Shao Zizhuo, and said with great sorrow: "Look carefully, I am not her."
"I have no one to rely on."
A huge stone smashed into the deep well, rippling the calm water and startling the sleeping frogs at the bottom, which leaped wildly. Shao Zizhuo suddenly felt his heartbeat absurdly fast, but he could only manage a dry sentence: "No one said you were her."
She smiled in relief. "Yes, except for the first time when you asked me to do something for money and to be her stand-in, you never said I was her. But look at my face. People who are familiar with her are standing up for her, while people who are not familiar with her call me Wangshu. Do you dare to admit that every time you hear someone call me Wangshu, every time they look at me, they are really just looking at me?"
"Who was seen, Guan Shanyue or Yuan Wangshu?"
Guan Shanyue pressed on, "During the thirty seconds you kissed me that day, were you thinking that this kiss filled the regret between you and Yuan Wangshu, or did you truly want to kiss me?" She tapped Shao Zizhuo's chest, her pounding heartbeat transmitting to her fingertips. She smiled and asked him, "Shao Zizhuo, can you see clearly into your own heart?"
He knew his heart clearly from the beginning to the end, but now, facing the little girl who was making a fuss and demanding an explanation, he wanted to ask himself, can he see his own heart clearly?
Shao Zizhuo's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly, his emotions frozen with each breath, his entire body suddenly disintegrating. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but he didn't know where to begin.
Guan Shanyue's smile was a bit shaky. "I originally thought that as long as I could get close to you, it would be enough. But the closer I get to you, the greedier I become. Time and again, I harbored delusions of wanting to replace her, but every time someone called me 'Wangshu', I was brought back to square one. Yes, I'm just a canary you raised with your money, a substitute for Bai Yueguang. Now that I've taken your money, my right to get angry with you has also been revoked. How can I dare to hope for your heart?"
She glanced at Shao Zizhuo, who looked solemn.
Too much talk leads to mistakes, so she decided to quit while she was ahead.
Guan Shanyue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, took a deep breath, and returned to her usual demeanor. She tugged at Shao Zizhuo and said, "I'm sorry, I lost control of my emotions just now. I shouldn't have quarreled with you. Please forgive me and don't chase me away. I just want to stay by your side."
Shao Zizhuo looked up in surprise. Could everything Lin Fu said be true? It was like a sour, astringent candy on the tip of his tongue. The sour outer layer gradually melted, revealing the pure sweetness inside. He swallowed subconsciously.
Shao Zizhuo remained silent the entire time, and Guan Shanyue held her breath nervously. Why wasn't he talking? Was he screwed?
After a while, Shao Zizhuo asked, "Do you have any hobbies?"
Now it was Guan Shanyue's turn to be silent. This wasn't right. Why wasn't Shao Zizhuo excited at all after my confession?
Guan Shanyue reached out and touched Shao Zizhuo's forehead. It wasn't hot. She asked anxiously, "Mr. Shao, logically speaking, you should say, 'You're just a stand-in, you've been a stand-in from the beginning. You shouldn't have any extravagant expectations,' instead of asking me what my hobbies are."
Seeing Guan Shanyue's mood return to normal, Shao Zizhuo breathed a sigh of relief, chuckled, and tapped her head with his fingers: "Did your brain get damaged by reading too many romance novels when you were a child?"
Guan Shanyue muttered softly, "Why don't you tell me that you're still the male lead in a romance novel?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing."
"So what are your hobbies?"
Guan Shanyue thought about it carefully. When she was a child, her family was poor and she couldn't afford toys. She could play with her friends all day with just a piece of grass. When she was older, her parents and sister passed away, and she had to shoulder the burden of the family. She went to school and worked at the same time, and had no time to develop any hobbies. After graduating from university, she entered an industry that was very competitive, but for the high salary, Guan Shanyue worked overtime day and night.
As for hobbies, she really didn't have any. She shook her head honestly.
Shao Zizhuo was a little stuck and asked in disbelief, "Don't you have anything you like?"
Guan Shanyue thought for a moment and asked, "Does making money count?"
Shao Zizhuo was a little discouraged: "Forget it." But fortunately, making money was Shao Zizhuo's forte. "How about this, you withdraw some money from your card and try to start a business?" Anyway, I have myself to back it up, so it doesn't matter if I lose money.
Guan Shanyue's eyes suddenly lit up, like a little mouse seeing rice: "Okay, it's a deal."
She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to get some resources from Shao Zizhuo today, but Shao Zizhuo just came to her. Guan Shanyue thought happily, what if she became the chairman of a group in a few days? Who would dare to speak to her?
Perhaps if they made enough money, they would be able to communicate on an equal footing. Once she had someone to lean on, she would also be able to express her dissatisfaction on an equal footing, right? Shao Zizhuo tilted his head to look at Guan Shanyue, and suddenly wanted to touch her head.
He raised his hand, then slowly lowered it into a fist. Wait a little longer. He really needed to look into his own heart.
Zhenhuan Restaurant.
Four people stood in front of the window, looking at the two people below with binoculars.
"Look at the way he looks at that girl. Help me! When have you ever seen him so gentle?" Zhao Yi was about to collapse.
"Hurry up and find the girl to apologize, and also warn other people in the circle not to compare Guan Shanyue and Wangshu together in the future." Sun Shan suggested.
"Instead of looking for her, it's better to look for Wangshu." Li Si was speechless at these idiots.
"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up, call Wangshu."
Just as I returned to Lanyuan, the system voice rang out: "Congratulations on completing this plot. Please continue with the current plot and wait for the next plot point prompt."
Huh? Has the plot point been completed? But Shao Zizhuo didn't even react. Where's the torture? Guan Shanyue was stunned, and three questions popped up in his mind.
The system heard her question and politely answered, "Yes, the sad part isn't that the hero's friends humiliate the heroine for Bai Yueguang, but that no matter how emotionally devastated the heroine is, the hero handles it calmly."
Guan Shanyue finally realized belatedly that no matter whether her hysteria was real or she was acting, the male lead Shao Zizhuo would not react at all.
She used all the stand-in novels she had read in her life, and even almost got herself involved in the story, but Shao Zizhuo only asked calmly from beginning to end: "What are your hobbies?"
All her repression burst out after being inexplicably humiliated, but Shao Zizhuo did not respond with the same emotion.
He didn't seem to care about her at all.
Guan Shanyue realized this, and for some reason, the joy of getting the resources suddenly halved. It felt like there was a void in his heart, and then it was quickly filled by the rushing wind and rain, roaring and hitting his ventricles.
So what was said today touched his heart, right? That's why he didn't refute a single word, so he didn't say a word.
Guan Shanyue felt a subtle sense of grievance. She had just been acting, but now she was truly aggrieved. She wanted to grab Shao Zizhuo and scream. She was a living, breathing person, not someone's stand-in! She wanted to understand him and treated him as a friend. She hadn't even pursued that...that kiss. How could he not care about her?
But will Shao Zizhuo ignore him again?
Guan Shanyue lay helplessly on the bed like a deflated pufferfish.
For the first time, the fearless little girl was unable to sleep because of something on her mind.
In the other room, Shao Zizhuo was also suffering from insomnia.
Do you like making money? There are many ways to make money, but it would be a bit difficult to have the same financial resources as he has now.
He turned over, feeling restless and unable to sleep. He resigned himself to his fate by throwing back the covers, taking a glass of milk, and sitting on the balcony to enjoy the cool breeze.
The bright moon hung high in the sky. He stroked the glass in his hand and subconsciously looked towards Guan Shanyue's room.
He seemed to see his own heart clearly.
